Back in 2013, October 27 to be exact, I made a blog post saying thank you for all the blessings God gave me the past years of my life. It remained my most read post until now. I am just grateful for all those blogger friends who read, liked and posted comments on that post. It is nice to be remembered too because it was your birthday. I am also grateful for all those times other bloggers paid a visit to my humble blog, thank you.
Birthdays are special, don’t you think? You remember and celebrate the day you came into this world and saw the light of day. You celebrate with your family and friends no matter how simple the celebration is. You remember fond memories of earlier and other birthdays in your life. I turned sixty last October 27, 2016 finally becoming and officially being called a senior citizen. I need not blog about the perks we have as seniors here because I wrote about them earlier on if I remember. It’s nice to be called a senior in almost all business establishments that you go to. The downside of it is that these are those times when you also feel those aches and pains of getting older. The plus side of course is you get to be a lot wiser too ( I suppose). You also enjoy the gift of family and grand kids if you have some. We were blessed with Nate one November morning four years ago. He is growing up to be a very smart kid.
By the way, I’d like to greet a good friend here, Pete Johnson who has followed me for a couple of years I guess. He never fails to appreciate and comment on almost all of my posts since then. It is his birthday today, this blog post is also for him. You can find his blog aptly called beetleypete here. He has a sizable number of followers and often blog about his dog Ollie. I am sure you would also enjoy reading his posts. If you are reading this Pete, I’d like to wish you a “HAPPY BIRTHDAY”. Go easy on the sweets though, we are not getting any younger.
It’s another year to be thankful for.
