Happy Birthday!

This Thanksgiving Monday, I listed Top Ten things that I am grateful for.


Today is my birthday. I continue to count on my blessings:

  1. A surprise present from a friend on Tuesday. I opened the bag today. It is a cool water bottle, something I collect and always like to have more šŸ¾šŸ¾šŸ¾

  2. An online photo album from my kids, with heartwarming captions. It moved me beyond words. I even shed some happy tears while browsing it šŸ“·šŸ“·šŸ“·

  3. A meaningful trip to my workplace to pick up my access card. It was a proud moment for me šŸ†”šŸ†”šŸ†”

  4. A Dim Sum with some Asian colleagues who also work for the government. It was the third lunch out since this summer and I didn't miss anyšŸ“šŸ“šŸ“

  5. Many Facebook birthday wishes from friends everywhere (more than 30 and still counting). Thank you all, I will read them one by one tomorrow, among them there is a special greeting from my birthday twin: my son's girlfriend šŸŽˆšŸ™‚šŸŽˆšŸŽ‚šŸ°šŸŽ‚

  6. Timely delivery of flowers in a vase, also from my thoughtful kids šŸŒ»šŸŒ·šŸŒ¼šŸ’šŸŒ¹

  7. Text messages, phone calls, emails, birthday song singing, from my sweet friends;

  8. A delicious dinner from my dear neighbor, A Lady Who Wears Many Hats.

  9. An hour of pleasant Salsa dancing with fun company šŸ’ƒšŸ’ƒšŸ’ƒ

  10. A 92% score on my body score. It indicated that my body aged at 42 this morning but that number dropped to 39 this evening. Maybe I should dance more šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

  11. A short and sweet video call with my kids plus my birthday twin šŸŽ„šŸŽ„šŸŽ„


ā€œI have found that, rather than dwelling on the negative, if we will take a step back and consider the blessings in our lives, including seemingly small, sometimes overlooked blessings, we can find greater happiness.ā€ ā€“ Thomas S. Morrison


Happy Birthday, Angela! Keep counting on your blessings and you will have more and more...
