A thankful heart

The birthday came and left. My heart is filled with gratitude for all the love and messages received. 

Birthdays hold a different meaning especially as I grow older.

When I was in my 20s or younger, birthdays meant big celebrations; loud parties 🥳. My goals then was to just earn as much as I can, so that I can prove to my parents that this career was right. 

When I was in my 30s, I just wanted more TIME for my family. The balance between being there for the kids vs having a decent career was what drives me. 

Now that I’m in my 40s, I just wanna bask in the current moment - to enjoy what’s on my plate, my friends, my health and my time now. 

When I read some of the msgs written by my kids @ work yesterday, my heart is filled with gratitude. Almost wanted to cry 🤣🤣🤣 让我又爱又烦的小朋友。

Thankful for the opportunity to lead, to inspire, to support them, to see each of them grow in their baby steps. And that fulfils me. 

With a grateful heart and a tummy full of yummy cakes! Thank you God!
