The 26th.

I'm absolutely no good at keeping up with my current happenings on my blog.
But I thought I'll write this post because I'm filled with so much gratitude, goodness and love in my heart right now, and I want to remember this feeling even after it's long gone.

Each year seems to pass faster than the last.
I'm officially writing page 26 on this book called life.
The past year has been laden with many changes, 
some of which I'm still trying to cope with and adjust to. 

I'm still not the best person I can be, but I'm trying to put in conscious effort to better myself in small ways every day.

Had the most splendid birthday week and I feel beyond blessed.
More surprises and cakes than I could count.
Thought I was not going to get any cakes this year but nope, they just keep appearing.
But I'm definitely not complaining.
Who doesn't love surprises and cakes?

Also, ate way too much for my own good.
Practically ate my way through the past 2 weeks - holiday and birthday combined.
I don't think I have been fed so well in my entire life before.

The meet ups and celebration are going to continue into next week, which only means I should step up on the workout regime before the the weight comes around.
If only birthday calories don't count.

A friend asked me, "How come you don't put your birthday on FB like normal human beings?!"
I told him because then only the people who really care will remember and send me wishes.

Truth be told, I don't need big fancy celebrations and ostentatious gifts to enjoy my birthday.
All that matters is spending it with the people who matter, those who make me count my blessings every single day and ones who are close to heart.

Thank you if you've made my 26th a happy one.
