Thankful for Another Year

Since the month of September has started, or even as early as late August, I was already feeling the blues. It happens every year. It doesn't come as a surprise anymore. I have caught myself countless times with a tear or two, regardless of location, time, and circumstance.

However, this year, I have longed to put more effort into fighting what they call, the "birthday blues." Finally, I have decided to plan and celebrate my very own birthday party! In spite of the busy schedule of friends and loved ones during this month, they made it on my birthday. This has been, thus far, the most special and genuine celebration of life, love, and friendships.

Being the nomad that I am, I am very thankful that people has remembered, not because Facebook gives birthday notifications (unfortunately I don't own an account), or because I bragged about it. I am ever thankful for people that despite the distance, and time difference, have made me feel special in their own sweet ways.

My birthday has made memorable wonderful moments I will forever keep. It feels really good to feel special sometimes.

I am grateful for another year of breath-taking and exciting nomadic experiences.
