~:[CH3 - Day 147]:~ Nothing Greater
When I was a kid, I was so excited to open up my gifts on my birthday; as I got older, I felt almost as it was expected to get gifts; but as I have aged I've grown to appreciate the wonderful gifts I have around me. My family, my friends, my colleagues, my students and everyone else have been the greatest gifts anyone could even ask for. I was overwhelmed with very thoughtful messages, notes, and cards, cakes, flowers, food, and even a serenade. It's one of those days that just makes you want to smile. I was able to stop by TapEx, I wandered around the campus aimlessly, I cleaned up my classroom a bit, and then filled myself to the brim with Korean BBQ from Gen. Many would want a grandiose celebration for their birthday, I've found the greatest celebration in the time with those I love and hold dear. I thank you all so much for all the time that you took to send me a uplifting message on my birthday. If even for just a second, I am grateful that you took anytime out of your day and I want to let you all know what it means to me. After watching the video on how much money the top 1% controls, I still feel like the riches man in the world because of all those people who are around me who make me feel as if I am on top of the world.
