I woke at midnight, a bit restless. My birthday was here and I ought to put up stuff on my social media handles celebrating the day but I wasn’t feeling so much like a celebrant!
Some unsettling news from work last night, some expected funds yet to drop, son request for financial assistance I have put off but know I have to deal with sooner than later, I was far from tranquil.
Off to mass at 6 am to anchor the boat that is my life and viola,my day had begun. A few pictures and some praise songs set the tone for the day and I was set for the grand.
Reluctantly I hot the grocery stand to pick up some cake for my work place and right at the counter it struck me! I was letting the circumstances get the better of me and I did a u turn.Back home I went to change into something more celebratory, a few phonecalls from friends and family, messages and hey presto, I became the birthday girl of your dreams.
With the years, it seems to be getting easier to shut out the chaos and focus.
My trust in God is unwavering and my faith in love and friendship is growing. Like old wine, I am growing finer inside me and I have a feeling I have just crossed a Rubicon.
My birthday gift from God this year is …. calm in the storm!
