Birthdays are special; they are a reminder of growth, reflection, and appreciation. My birthday was yesterday, on the 8th of October, and it was a glorious day. As usual, I received many cakes and gifts from my friends, family, and other loved ones. I felt all the love, and I’m thankful for having amazing people in my corner.
Birthdays are a time for reflection. It’s a moment to look back on the past year and appreciate all the moments, both good and bad. A lot happened over the past year, and I managed to achieve some of the goals I had set for myself as well as some new ones. Can you believe I can swim now? Yes, I completed my swimming lessons and can confidently do two strokes. However, I still need to practice because practice makes perfect, and I believe I can do it. In addition, I also passed my professional exam, moved to a new house, started a new job, made new friends, and had a lot of fun. Of course, there are still some things I didn’t achieve, but I plan to work on these in the coming months.
I woke up this morning with so much gratitude, and in my usual fashion, I decided to write a birthday post for the year. I will now cut myself a slice of cake because I deserve it.
Some birthday/October posts for you;
Cheers to a new age and all the amazing things to come!
