Thankful to the Existence


today i checked the blog of my good friend, http://mybabyaurel.blogspot.com/, and saw how cute the mommy n the baby having fun on the swimming pool..just reminded me how fun it was to swim with my voshan..

and then i checked my own blog, and found that it had been a month since my last posting. how could that be? was i really that busy? or just lazy to write anything? :)

so here i am beginning to write again a new post.

I remember that July is almost over. Well it's a very special month for me, since it is the month where I had been born.
Actually it's my first birthday that i didn't celebrate with my parents.
It's the first one i celebrate at my home.
It's my first birthday that i didn't buy any birthday cake.
It's not that i don't afford to buy one..just thought that next month i'll be celebrating my son's birthday, so i think i will buy a big cake for both of us on voshan's birthday.
however, speaking of cakes, it reminds me of the blueberry cheese cake that we bought for our boss birthday, yummy...i think i will buy a cake today...(hmm, so impulsive..).

whatever..:)

actually i remember that i was pretty sad and mad that saturday, on my 31st birthday.
yes, on that day, my husband left me for his project.
and he did not come back until late afternoon.
and we did not buy any cake.
and we did not go out for birthday lunch.
and my parents did not come over.
and i did not get any birthday present.
and i just get through my ordinary saturday, i bought the vegetables from the seller who passed by, i cooked, i looked after my son, played the computer games,
and so on, and so on, pretty usual stuffs.
i felt 'wow, it's a pretty lame birthday'..

and then that night, finally we went out (didn't remember where), somewhere close by i guess..
my husband left me with my son in the car, and i received an sms from one of my best college friend,.."hi, have you had a great time on this birthday of yours?"
at that moment, i still felt not very good..but of course, i cannot tell that to her..not that way..
and then i took a deep breath and began to reply the sms,
"i'm just thankful that God still let me to have this beautiful life".....
wow, i who felt quite sad and mad, could actually type that sms??
and then all of a sudden, i can really feel thankful and very happy and gracious
and i can feel again how beautiful my life is now, and has been, and will be..

i am healthy, itchy sometimes, but i still can live..
i can live in my own home with my family
i have a family of my own
i have a great husband
i have the most beautiful child
all my close family are healthy, my hubby n son, my parents, my niece, my sis, my inlaws
i have a good job, sucks sometimes, but it's still ok
i have started my own business
my husband business going well
i have many good friends
i have a good boss
i have a maid
i have a car
my stomache is full
i can sleep well
i can laugh with all my heart

i am just so very happy for this beautiful life
and i am so very thankful and gratefull to God, the Existence, who still let me have this all :) :D

Thank God
Praise the Lord
Puji Tuhan

with the most humble and happiest heart and soul..
