Having added one more candle to the cake a couple of days ago, I have nothing more fitting to say today than how grateful I am for my life.
Sprinkled with disappointments, mine is definitely not perfect. But I’m just happy that for every disappointment, Someone Up There always makes sure to double up the triumphs.
So despite the heartaches, back aches, additional few lines under the eyes, veins visibly creeping behind my knees, etc…, it is good to be alive.
I’m thankful for a wonderful Mama Chick who carried baby chick inside the womb for 9 months and spent hours huffing and puffing in the Delivery Room more than 3 decades ago. She - who has always taken care of this chick’s every need then and now - is a huge blessing and having her as a mother is one of my life’s greatest triumph.
On my birthday, I received a short and fancy schmaltzy message from hubster. Nevertheless, it’s heartwarming and made me smile giggle like a schoolgirl.
