Happy Birthday To Whom?

Birthday Wishes

Special Day
Today is my birthday and it is different from the previous birthdays because of Facebook. This year, a lot of people greeted me Happy birthday in so many different ways through Facebook. Some are short, some unexpected, some wishing me my dreams come true one day, some are sent in foreign translation and some showered me with love. This year turned out to be encouraging to celebrate because there were so many wonderful greetings for my birthday.
I made a short note on my Facebook that it is my birthday today and we went to the sea to watch the lazy seal, sunbathing on the shore of Monterrey bay. Well, we did not really go but imagination will work alright to brighten up my day. Speaking of Monterrey, it is a good place to be. The weather is nice, close to nature and pleasant neighborhood.
For all the reasons to celebrate my birthday in a very unique way, I made up a list of blessings that would be enough to make it a different birthday today.

Today is another blessing of LOVE 
The love from above, unconditional, endless and boundless through eternity. The love from my family and friends whom I may not see from time to time but knowing they will be there for me when the time comes. The love that is our hearts no matter how busy and occupied are we without own problems. It is all about love, making the world go around while enjoying the ride through learning more of oneself, gradually learning to love oneself including my imperfections.
Today is another blessing of NEW LIFE 
Knowing I am alive and kicking, spend time with my family and friends who greeted me with sweet nothings on Facebook. Is it not a blessing to be able to go on the computer and put down all your thoughts and feelings? Is it not a blessing to open up one's eye, look around to admire the beauty of nature? The air I am breathing for free, the sun that shines to brighten the day with all the flowers blooming mightily and the sky so blue, soothing, peaceful enough to enlighten my soul as I journey in life.
Today is another blessing of HOPE 
Waking up, a new day, a new hope to conquer. I hope to be a better person, a better spouse, a better parent, a better businessman, a better employee and a better friend in order to give hope to those who needed it the most. Each time I struggle myself to become a better person, there is hope. It is hope that keeps me going despite all the trials and misfortune that life sometimes catches up with me.
Today is another blessing of HEALTH 
With good health, it is the most priceless treasure a man can possess. When I am healthy, my mind works well and my body too. That goes well with having a healthy emotion, a healthy physique and a working brain that is enough to keep up with the new technology.
Having a healthy life is a lot of work. I need to love myself, take care of myself and laugh at myself to keep my health up and best.
Today is another blessing of GIVING 
While it is my birthday today, it is still better to give than to receive. When my sister greets me " Happy birthday to you, dear Sis. May all your dreams and wishes come true", I responded that my dream is to see her in a graduation gown and my wish is to see her love herself more than ever. That made my birthday different. Giving myself to others, to serve with gladness and never expect anything in return. Believe me, it is a wonderful feeling...
Today is another blessing of LAUGHTER 
Laughter is the best medicine. I can't live without laughter in my life. It is a break from a hard life, a comfortable life, and a lifeless life. With laughter, all the day's hard work will be forgotten. With laughter, all the pain will be covered with a happy face. With laughter, all the anger will be replaced with a relaxed body. With laughter in life, I keep my youthfulness and age with grace.
Today is another blessing of CONTENTMENT 
For all the blessings I have received, they suffice enough to live a life full of life. Need to say more on contentment? I am off to enjoy my birthday in the peaceful silence, in one with nature and enjoying the beauty of the people around me. My family, friends and strangers who are just like me.
