Birthday Blues

We should love our life for what we live in. The future is not in our hands and most of the time we worry about future. anything you put inside your head, it creates a problem. My father-in-law is a doctor and a philosopher. He is 85 now and he always used to tell, that he has done enough in his life and now his passport is ready and waiting for VISA. He has taken the life philosophically. Life is always interesting when we talk about family, husband, children, relatives, office colleagues. You know very well no body thinks of us after we leave. So life is like that. We should not give too much of attention to it. Many happy returns of the day and hope the almighty give you strength and courage to face the life with greater confidence.

A couple of years ago, when I was 38 - 39, I thought, boy, I'm going to turn 40 years old soon. But, eventually the time did come. I'm 41 now, and I love it. For some reason, I feel a lot younger than I did when I was in my late thirties. I think I was stressing over turning forty, but once it happened, nothing changed, and a big weight lifted off my shoulders. I learned that just because you turn 40 or 50, doesn't mean you grow old. Age is how old you feel, and I feel the same as I did when I was thirty, or twenty-five. I imagine I will feel the same when I am fifty, sixty, etc. It's not how old you are, it's what you do with your life. Do what makes you happy, and you will be happy.

hey sherinek! first of all happy birthday even if you're not happy about it. ^__^;; you're just 38! you are not old. if you're old then what would you call those older than you?? ancients??? LOL don't think of your age too much. I have lots of friends same age as you but they don't look like they are old because they enjoy life and their age is not a big deal to them.^__^ if you're really bothered by it then have it said that you're thirty eighteen. ^__^

Just as you mentioned above,we can not stop growing old,instead,we can enjoy the process of growing to be more mature. I was born on December 30th,so I have never got a chance to really enjoy a birthday party so far.Compared with me,maybe you are much luckier than me. I think you can go out with your family and tell them your deep thoughts about life and so on today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
