So last week was my birthday (May 6 to be precise)… normally I’m posting about it by the end of the day but this year I waited a bit and decided to take it all in. I LOVE my birthday. Probably more than any human being should. I just think it’s such a gift to be a part of this planet. We’re given this amazing opportunity to experience anything we choose with a body, mind and soul built to such a heightened degree of sensory receptors that there isn’t anything we can’t do, see, feel, hear, taste etc etc. And what a plethora of beauty, sensations and thought-provoking enigmas this planet provides for such sensory receptors. It’s unlimitless!
It is to this effect that I want to experience as much out of this life as possible. See all the wonders of the world, climb Mount Kiliminjaro, swim with the sharks (ooops… already done that…), love like there’s no tomorrow and witness every-day miracles (and those aren’t too hard to find!) just to name a very few.
What is even greater is how much one’s life impacts those around us, both directly and indirectly. The words one utters, the actions one take, the decisions one makes affects so many other people around us. I often wonder how, what I do in this moment and the decisions I make, will affect someone (or perhaps many) on the other side of the planet. It is to this length that I do my very best to keep a smile on my face, laugh at EVERYTHING (including and especially myself), and project as much of a warm feeling as I can possibly muster on any given day. It may not affect anyone on the other side of the planet…. But perhaps it’ll put a smile on someone else’s face that day. If that’s what I can do as a result of being ‘here’, that’s all the reason I need to love my birthday!
