Today it's my birthday. I woke up to a ton of birthday wishes on Facebook. Since California is 10 hours behind Romania, all my friends had all they to wish me nice things:) I woke up in my hubby's arms, who whispered in my ear: happy birthday!
It's a sunny day outside, warm and green and beautiful. Today I didn't have to go to work, even if it's a tuesday, because I still don't have a job. I'm waiting for a call this week, and I was hoping it will come today, as a birthday gift... to know that on Monday I have to go to work.
This whole week I kept hearing and telling others that: very little is needed to lead a happy life. And it's true. Whatever we receive in life, if we appreciate it, and we are not constantly thinking about everything else we are missing out on, or what we don't have, we have a pretty good chance to enjoy what we do have.
And last week I wrote my best friend an e-mail, a weird bunch of ideas that helped me figure out how I can enjoy myself and not carry unnecessary burdens. I am an interesting mix of an introvert and an extrovert, and while trying to overcompensate for people's imperfections, I lost track of who I am and what I can genuinely offer to those around me. I do care about people around me and their journey, but I also instinctively embrace the joy in the world, and I am weird and goofy and fun, and I shall not temper that side of who I am.
I decided to live life as what it is: a gift. I decided not to worry about tomorrow, more that it is necessary. I decided to do my very best every day, and love and be happy. I decided to trust God and give my every day to him, have grownup conversations with Him, childish chats with Him, worship Him and rejoice in Him.
I love and I am loved...
