it's a super special day for me because it's my birthday!! it's only 10:30 and already i've heard from a bunch of people wishing me a happy birthday...isn't that cool? today i'm going to go with my boyfriend to a fun restaurant and meet a bunch of my friends there. i'm trying to decided what to wear so i feel pretty and special for my big day. i always get a lil nervous on my birthday because i'm not sure i "deserve" so much attention (even though it feels real good). i feel like i wanna give back as much as i get from my friends and that's hard sometimes.
this is an extra good birthday this year because i've learned how to be real happy with my life. last year, on my birthday was the total opposite. i was so sad and i had no one really to share my day with and that made me sadder. i learned this year that maybe i made things that way by not paying attention and being grateful for how much i do have. now that it's a habit for me to think about and be thankful for so much, i know that all of those things keep coming! i make sure to think about all of my friends and how they give me lots of support, my family and how much love they show me and even the little things like being comfortable in my house and cuddling up with my puppy. i think that is why this birthday is extra special because i learned how to make me happy....and since i have so much in my life, it ended up being an easy lesson once i really understood it.
now i'm learning patience. not everyone knows the lesson i know and not everyone is ready to have the thanks right now that i do. when it comes to the people i love, i want them to be as happy as i am so i sometimes get impatient when they aren't. all kinds of things in life are hard and different things are hard for different people and i want to be able to understand that for those that i love. that's what's important for me to work on right now. i keep reminding myself everyday: be patient. be patient. be patient...
we all want others to be patient with us. and i know how much people are with me and so i'm working on being able to do that for others. lessons are never over, are they?
