Hi, its my birthday today. Cool. I am going through the usual feel-low-on-birthday syndrome. Birthday is always a day which makes me feel low. It reminds me of all the things I wanted to achieve by this date but failed, but turning 29 is kind of funny. It's that age that people older than 29 pretend to be turning when they don't want to embrace their actual age. It's so common, I kind of feel like I'm lying when I say "I'm turning 29 today." It's like: people who say they're turning 29 just aren't telling the truth. Because most of them aren't!! Anyway, I'm looking forward to turning 30 next year, because 29 is just awkward. It has this built in ageist angst to it that I just don't like. And I think I've always been spiritually in my 30s, anyway. Even when I was a kid, and especially when I was in high school. Not that I was all that mature or anything, it's just more how I've always seen the world. Or so I presume.... (Having never been in my 30s, myself. =)
Many wonderful people have been wishing me a "Happy" birthday, especially my daughter even she didn’t know what the meaning of birthday occasion is except cakes and present. Thanks beloved hubby with his surprise birthday cake and present which I never imagined that I can get them as soon as now.. phew well I've been doing my best to oblige!
This morning I woke up at 9:30am, but I awoke slowly, with the sunlight rather than with the alarm clock. Fluffy jumped onto the bed and lay on my chest, pawing at my face for a few minutes, which is something I find very annoying when I'm trying to sleep, but which I found very endearing this morning as I lay there enjoying the quiet of the morning.
I decided to come into office today and actually do a little work. I don't have any meeting or important things to do, so I could've taken the whole day "off" if I'd wanted to. But one of my favorite things to do is to spend time with people, and since my husband had to go to work today and my daughter needs to see her granny for her own activity, so I wasn't about to sit around at home when there were plenty of cool people to hang out with at work. So I came into the office and did some work, which was of course peppered by wonderful phone calls and Twitter/Facebook catching-up with people. I went to a tasty lunch with my friend and colleague. So yeah, I did do some work today (which I'm quite proud of myself for doing), but all-in-all this day has been more celebratory than anything else. And I am totally okay with that.
At night we’re celebrating at Siam house, enjoying my birthday with a very surprise cake & present. Well Hubby.. Much Thankie for you.. I Love you as always..
tons of love,
