Chapter Thirty One

Ola! I turned 31 today.
Spent my day mostly in the village where phone signal is non-existent that I only received abundant of wonderful wishes as soon I reached the city this afternoon. Those wishes and prayers made me feel so special and I am blessed to have you guys in my life. Thank you :)

Last night I got an early wish from my nephew who congratulated me for having a birthday the next day. I smiled ear to ear reading the text because it is cute yet so kind.

Earlier today I also received a birthday wish from Mas Jujur Prananto, whom I only met once but ended up communicate pretty constantly until now. It amazes me still, how an instant encounter would lead to years of friendship.

If I may say, being 31 is a blessing, that the Almighty is kind enough to allow me to breathe the air. Yet it is also an alert, to take a better care of myself, to be more focus, and to live more responsibly, as my lifespan is now has shortened a year.

There is no candle blowing ritual, nor festive celebration, nor birthday dinner tonight, just a simple frozen yoghurt and a cup of latte treat for myself. 

Just me and myself. Thinking and thanking.

Happy birthday to me.
