HAPPY BIRTHDAY

They are right you know, life really begins after 50. The kids have left the nest, you are not encumbered with milk bottles, tears and tantrums. And if you have an interesting career, that's a bonus. I was chatting with a lecturer a week ago ( she is a single parent as her husband died many years ago) and we agreed that life is too short to spend on petty issues. We must live a fulfilling life, be a blessing to others and leave footprints in the sand.

Yesterday being my birthday, I received this beautiful bouquet of roses from my loving husband. It was delivered to my office. I was chairing an ISO Quality Management meeting when the flowers came. The ooohs and aaahs from the lecturers said it all. At tea break, the lecturers sang a Happy Birthday song and presented me with a chocolate cake, complete with candles.
My ex-staff from St. John's sent this bouquet of flowers to my office. After all those years away from that school, it was sweet of them to remember. And of course I wish to thank friends and family members for their kind thoughts and inspiring messages and SMS. Indeed I feel blessed and I recall the Lord's instruction to Moses on the blessings of the Lord (Numbers 6 :24 - 27). On this day, it is good to read again Deuteronomy 5 - yes all of it.
