A step closer to death

A step closer to death

How do you feel with each birth anniversary? Excited or sad? What does each new year mean for you?

Birth anniversaries mean different things for all of us. For some it is a time to celebrate and make merry for a new year and age while for others it is a step closer to their death and departure from this world. Not that they do not celebrate but rather than make so much noise about it, they would rather reflect and meditate about their lives. That is not to say there is something wrong with those who celebrate loudly. We are all different and that is what makes us unique.

I am part of those who prefer to just reflect and meditate on that day. No amount of party you arrange for me would make me excited; I love to just be by myself, receive and reply messages and eat.

My birthday is in two days and I am quite emotional for all that has happened but at the same time I am grateful to God for His benevolence. I know not what has happened to you but I think there is still so much for you to be grateful for.

Happy birthday to all who celebrate today.

Please pray for me and I take gifts too...lol
