Forty-three years of life cannot be summed up in a paragraph or two —although it could seem that just a paragraph ago I was graduating from high school! Even though at the moment I’m struggling with many issues —probably the dreaded mid-life crisis—, I can say that I’ve had a good life so far, and I have much to be grateful for. I’m especially thankful of the people and pets that have touched my life in deeper ways than they can imagine, and I’m also thankful for the time we have been/were allowed to have together. That’s all I can say, but everyone who knows me well knows that my feelings go beyond words.
A sample moment of my life came the day after this past 43rd birthday. I was taking a class with one of my best friends as our instructor. What would my astonishment be that when the rest of the classmates arrived, the surprise cake and coffee and hot cocoa appeared on the table, and they all sang “Happy Birthday”. I had no idea, and not only was it a surprise, but completely unexpected. That could sound that it’s obvious that a surprise party is unexpected, but there is a difference, and I can’t explain it. It might have been a tiny get-together, but my friendships are that: a lifetime of tiny details that make the difference.
I wanted to have some photos to illustrate this entry, but my friend still has them on her mobile, and hasn’t been able to download them. More than two months have passed, so I’m just going to move on… to live my next 43 years with hopes of tiny details and great people and pets ;)
