Birthday blues. Depending on how you look at it, birthdays can be a source of joy, unhappiness, or a source of anxiety, ambivalence and depression. They can be a little taste of an existential crisis. Birthdays mark the passage of time. But the more time passes you by, the more it becomes a reminder of our limited time on this earth, leading one to grieve over lost opportunities, unmet expectations, unfulfilled dreams; regrets...

Gratefulness: several times I looked at my life through the lens of what I failed to accomplish, what still needed to be accomplished. So I failed to rejoice in the small victories. And progress, effort unappreciated will not bloom into greater beautiful flowers.

So today I choose gratefulness. To rejoice in the beautiful tapestry, woven by my past failures, mistakes and success; gratefulness is how I choose to step into the future...

And I choose to trust that the future is bright because God is in it....HBD to myself
