One Year Older Hopefully Wiser!

After the age of 21 I began to detest birthdays ok maybe that's a bit harsh I loved preparing for other people's birthdays. I'd get real excited when I would be invited to one just didn't have the same enthusiasm when it came to my own. I loved getting the odd present from here and there but the age thing kinda put me off the whole deal. I wasn't always like that but because other people made a big fuss over it my attitude towards this particular event began to change.

After a while I realized just how silly I was instead of being grateful I was complaining as if I was getting penalized for being alive.
So I got rid of my negative attitude and actually looked forward to each birthday. Counting the many blessings I have received since the last time I celebrated the day I came into the world.Instead of looking at the number I actually looked at what I had achieved so far as well as think about what I am about to do with the new year that I have been given.

This new system has allowed me to fully understand that saying "Age is Mind Over Matter If you Dont Mind it does not Matter because its not so much the numners of years you have lived.. its more like how you have lived and what you have done with the years alloted to you....Ok I think I have just confused myself ha!ha! but somehow I know you get my gist..

I have had the most awesome Mother's Day ever and to top it off my husband took the day off so that he could spend my Birthday with me. He bought me a new digi-camera with the help of Jen Jen: A Sony DSC-T5 with 5.1 Mega pixels. I am not a technical person so I dont really know what this gadget can do all I know is that its new, has a nice silvery color and it takes really nice pictures.. ( I know I am so lame but really grateful)

My darling husband prepared dinner for me and the fambam but I had to finish it off as he had to go back to the camera house to get them to set the darn thing as all the instructions are all in Japanese nice......

Anyways I am not complaining I am just real siked about my new toy for the year.

Somebody is gonna look flash on Sunday and smelling like a Spring fairy..ok seriously i don't know if there are such things as fairies n if there are what they'd smell like.. har har but all in all I had a lovely day and I can not thank everybody enough for making me feel so loved and special. I am really touched and overwhelmed by the best wishes sent in, prayers, kisses n hugs.
I have been on cloud nine since Mother's Day... I tell ya I could get used to being pampered. I know I have to come down sometime and perhaps it will be sooner rather than later but however short or long this ride will last I have enjoyed every single minute of it. I miss not having my babies Ata, Esera & Foli around as well as my darlings Jen Jen. Loma and the rest of the crew but I know I will see them soon so that's a consolation.
God has been real good to me. He has allowed me to live this long. I pray he will add more years to my life at least to see my little girl have a little one herself. I may be pushin' it a little there but it is the greatest wish of my heart.
Once again to all of you near and far who have given my life so much joy.. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Birthday resolutions still undecided: I am still torn between eat less and sleep more or eat more and sleep less. But eat more and sleep even more is begining to sound better and better but in all seriousness I will definately try to eat less and sleep less but If u were to invite me to ur birthday party I'll throw everything out the window and just enjoy all the yummy food as for sleep I can always find a secluded corner to curl up while I wait for my food to digest then we can start all over again (Jokes) Have a Nice One.
Shiori chan bringing out much cake woot woot!Mina san Arigato Gozaimashita!
