three decades and a year

Dear Lord.

I am officially 31 years old today.

As usual, I don’t feel my age. I guess my mental age is stuck at 25 – still too young to know everything but old enough to know what’s right from wrong.

I am thankful for the people sent to accompany me in this journey. I feel blessed to have all of them in my life. I am grateful to be a son, a brother, a friend, a student, a classmate, a subordinate, a leader, a mentor, etc.

I am thankful for the hurdles and potholes placed along the way to challenge my capabilities and skills. Each hurdle is a reminder that there are more to learn.

I am thankful for allowing me to make mistakes and learn from it.

There are a lot of things I realized lately and one of them is that I am a good person. I may have some imperfections but I am not a hopeless case. I should love myself more.

Amen.
