Cheers to life! 31 years of existence and is happily
breathing life to its fullest…
I woke up pretty early today because my husband (King of
Surprises) woke me up with a birthday cake w/ a dedication “Happy Birthday Mama Bee.. from Dada and
Nate..” Then after he left for work, my
little boy stirred from his sleep, tossed and turned then he sat up and looked
at me…extended his arms, wanted to be
held and carried. That was prolly his way of greeting me on my birthday. He was
up really early today (like 5:40 am) when his usual waking up time is around 7
or 8.
On my 31st birthday, I choose to be grateful. Because
there are times when I whine and complain so much about life and yet there are
others who will trade anything just to be alive, just to live longer. I knew a
lot of friends or acquaintances who are battling cancer. I dread cancer, I totally
dread getting sick. I hate going to hospitals for lab tests!
That is why this year, I am really trying to stay healthy.
There are countless times that I easily fall of the wagon and I hate myself. I
hate that I love eating sweets and pasta. But then again, it’s really up to me
to discipline myself. My goal is to go back to my pre-pregnancy weight which is
110-115lbs.
I am grateful to have a husband who is really so so so
understanding and patient with me . He is the coolest person ever and he rarely
gets angry and if he does, it usually lasts for just an hour. He works really
hard for me and our baby and I thank him for that. I love him heaps!
I am grateful for a baby boy who is our source of happiness.
He easily perks up our moods and he has this uber-charming smile that melts my
o.a. heart. So blessed to have him in our lives.
I am grateful for my supportive family especially my
parents. My little boy is so blessed to have them as grandparents and I wish
they will live long to see my boy off to college or beyond that. I am also
grateful for my siblings. We keep tabs on family matters and we always draw
each other for comfort and strength.
I am grateful for my friends for they make life more fun fun
fun!
I am grateful that I’ll be working part-time this year. I
get to finish my long overdue paper and still have ample of time to bond with
my little boy. Leaving my baby so that I can work is truly difficult. There’s
this hard lump on my throat whenever I think of it. I am just so happy that the
offer given is for part time only.
So, I thank God for every single thing I have in my life
right now. I couldn't ask for more. I pray that I can control my temper, that I
can control my crazy cravings of buying stuff (THIS.HAS.TO.STOP!) and that I
can control myself in everything (buying
clothes, eating, dilly dally etc) and just
keep things in moderation. I guess that’s it for now.
Happy 31st birthday to me! Cheers to a life!
