Happy Birthday to Me
posted in Personal, Viewed: 408 timesIt was my birthday just a couple days ago and my husband asked me to blog. What can I say about my birthday? I’m getting old. I won’t admit to my age…I don’t even feel my age. Still, time scares me and I don’t want it to slip away.
I actually remember my 2nd birthday. I know that sounds crazy. I don’t remember details, but I do remember sitting in my highchair in the kitchen with my Mother. She was pregnant with my sisters but I don’t remember that. I remember having a little chocolate cupcake and making a mess of it.
I also remember when my Dad came home from work. It was dark outside. I don’t remember anything about him except seeing his legs from his knees down. But I especially remember going into the living room at some point and seeing all my birthday gifts. How did all those gifts get there?? It seemed like magic!
Most people take stock of their lives and I have to say I’m very proud of a few things:
- I bought my first condo all by myself when I was 24 or 25
- I received a US patent for an application I designed and managed
- I traveled to the UK, Europe, Carribean, India, Cambodia, Japan, Singapore and Australia
- I have a family that I’m very close to no matter what the distance
- I married a wonderful man who is so good to me
- I had a baby that I love with all my heart
Who knows what the future holds. I still have alot of hopes and dreams and will, as usual, do what I can to make them come true. Hopefully it’ll involve more kids and traveling to places I haven’t seen..
