Let me share with you the "12 Birthday Wishes" for my 49th birthday sent by a person who, like my dearest mother, has touched many lives with her compassion, generosity and love--Ate Zeny Antonio:
1. Sunrise after the darkest of nights (reminds me of my son's favorite song "Better Days")
2. Friends who bring out the best in you
3. A love that makes you smile
4. Belief that anything is possible
5. Courage to finally do what you've been putting off
6. Time for yourself
7. Promises that are not broken
8. An answered prayer
9. A heart that forgives
10. A birthday feeling all-year-round
11. A soul that heals
12. A life with no regrets
To all of you who visited/called/e-mailed/ texted to greet me today, thank you very much. Oh, and thanks to my friends who sent me cards and gifts. For those who forgot, I forgive you. Have a nice life, everyone!
