I don’t have birthdays, I level up.
Today is a new blessed day in my seemingly fast going life. So much happens that you forget where you are right now; life’s way of telling you to move on.
In this year I lost and gained, I won and learned, I saw great icons pass away and new ones appearing. Quoting one of my icons, my father, life is a floating river, going against it will break you. So today I would like to pat myself on the shoulder, and be grateful for what I have today; an extra year of wisdom.

Happy belated levelling day! While I agree it is easier to go with the flow, sometimes we have to swim against the tide, it builds our strength and allows us to travel places others drift past without seeing.
I wouldn’t be where I am if I didn’t. You are right… I guess I need to level up more 🙂
Thanks for the kind wishes.
