it's my party...

 My 6th Birthday

On a day like today (only Wednesday), but in the year 1977 approximately around 11:30am, I was seeing the light of day for the very first time ever, probably crying my lungs out cause "it's my party, and I cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry if I want to... you would cry too if it happens to you", right?

Now, 33 years later, I'm still here but not really crying, more like wondering where have all the years gone, I have lived as best as I can, and to this point I know for a fact that "growing up is mandatory, but growing old is optional", life and specially God has been so, so good to me that it's impossible to even try to complain because I've been blessed for 32 wonderful year...

This year is different though, or should I say 32 was the different year? This birthday marks the first year of my life that I am actually in some way different. I am a married woman now, last time I celebrated my birthday I was single, and now this year I'm married, so I guess this year is sort of a milestone for me.

Anyway, today is just another day, I have to work and life goes on with me being 33 and all... I usually don't really celebrate very much on my birthday, most of my family (well actually all, besides my husband and my 2 dogs) are not close enough for me to want to throw a big party, specially on a Tuesday, but we are going out to have some delicious Sushi dinner, so that's plenty celebration for me!

As for friends, I have very few on the island that actually deserve that special title, but at least there's Facebook and blogger to get some nice greetings from friends that will make my day extraordinary...

So on a day like today, I would like to share my favorite quote and it goes like this:

"Dream as if you'll forever.

Live as if you'll die today"
