Pre-Birthday Turned Post-Birthday Post
August 10, 2009 by edzguanko
Yesterday was my birthday.
Like the previous ones it wasn’t anything special, although I did cook spaghetti, made fruit salad, drank wine, and watched Il Postino. I originally planned to go out with someone, but something came up. The truth is, I was grateful. I only just realized that I enjoy spending my birthday alone. It gives me a feeling of utter peace, knowing that this day is mine and mine alone, and I can do whatever I want (as long as it’s not against the law, of course).
At 28, I have a lot of things to be grateful for. So instead of a wishlist I decided to put together a list of things that I’m thankful for.
(In no particular order)
1. My family - for always loving me and appreciating everything i do
2. My friends - for being a source of happiness, comfort, and strength
3. My job - that I’m still enjoying what I do
4. Stephen King - for writing the Dark Tower Series and making me want to be a gunslinger
5. Naruto - for being my anchor when I was depressed
6. Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge - for being so silly that it made me laugh
7. Harry Potter - for ending up with Ginny
8. Music and Poetry - for keeping my spirit burning
9. Windy afternoons, rain, and coffee - for making me feel alive
10. Well-wishers - friends and acquaintances who greeted me on my birthday, making me feel like a million bucks
11. And last but not the least, I am grateful to the Almighty, for always giving me strength whenever I feel like giving up.
