Ruminations of a 33 year old....
Today I'm 33 years old. *sigh* I guess there's no running away from Father Time. :-) Its true what they say about growing old...you may pile on the years, but somehow you always feel you're still the same person you've always been...perhaps a bit older and wiser...and maybe a bit worse for wear.
I thank God for my health, my family especially my son, my friends, my career, and all the blessings I have received. I guess I'm still more fortunate than most, and for that I'm very grateful. It's been a bumpy ride at times, and while I've received my share of punches, I'm still here, slugging it out in this journey we call life. :-)
The past year I've picked up a few lessons and reiterations of things that I've known before here and there, and thanks to this blogging thing I've even written about some of them during the past several months. If I may, I'd like to share some of them with you:
On God:
- Trust in God, not in man. God will never let you down.
- God is always there, even though sometimes it seems as if He isn't.
- God always answers prayers, even though sometimes the answer is no.
On life and living:
- Life's a journey, not a destination.
- No matter how difficult things are, you will always get through it.
- Into each life some rain must fall.
- Learn to loosen up once in a while.
- Sometimes it is the worst situations which bring out the best in us.
- Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live.
- Nothing is exactly how we perceive them to be.
- Everything has a reason.
On people and friends:
On love:
On work:
On health:
I've made a lot of posts in the ten months that I have been blogging, but somehow I seem to remember the posts above more than the rest. Hope you can find one or two that you can relate to. :-)
To everyone who took the time to remember my birthday, thank you.
Now, on to the rest of my life. :-)
