Today is my birthday! Another year younger. I was never one that was big on birthdays, the faster the day went the better. This year my birthday is important to me. It reminds me that I am here on this earth for this many years.
I looked back in my mind and thought of all I have done since I was born and I was amazed. From the time you are born you are going forward towards something great. Whatever that is you will find out as you get older. Or I should say as your life continues.
You are born and you are give a life where someone is taking care of you. They take constant care of you and as you get a bit older you start to fend for yourself and the need to learn more is always there. What you do with your life as you move forward (or get older) depends on you and how you handle your life and the path you chose to take.
I never doubted the one I took. I loved doing what I did and never regret a minute of it. I was very blessed to have what I had. My life has gone in cycles and a few were not good but as a child born under the sign of cancer I am stubborn and strong willed therefore a fighter so here I am.
I have overcome road blocks and mountains in my path and although the pesky mountains just keep coming, I am getting pretty good at climbing them.
So as my birthday began this year on a very happy note I want to thank my mother and father for giving me birth and allowing me the freedom to make my own choices throughout my life. This has allowed me to become a wife and a mother and a finally a grandmother. (a young grandmother)
I know what path the rest of my life is going on and I will continue to embrace each birthday now with a happiness. With all the sadness and death that has surrounded us of late I have to remember that for every death a child is born. A rebirth.
…so Happy Birthday to me!!!
