51

This is the age I turned today. Another year another birthday. Having a January Birthday is interesting. Each year once the new year begins a few days later, I turn another year older. I am thankful for another year. Last night I watched the end of the Steve McQueen movie Bullit. I noticed that McQueen passed away at the age of 50 from cancer.

Each day we are alive is a day to be thankful for what I have been blessed with. Even when I feel sad or down, I can reflect on what I have and say thank you for it. One activity that I enjoy is going through my photos from the past year on my birthday and reminiscing on the activities in that I participated. Remember is a pathway to reclaiming inner peace, and if you take the time and put in a bit of effort, not by bit and drop by drop, you will produce internal peace, gratitude, and joy.
