The defining moments were. The Aha!s and Eureka and Uh-ohs. Emphatic Yesss! (punches fist ala Tom Cruise) and the wide-eyed No's as if I was in slow motion. But through all these, it was the boring that mattered: How I choose to live, love, learn and leave a legacy. Life is really a great adventure. Happy birthday ulit GodChick.

I think I wished you a happy birthday before in an earlier post, but if I didn't... well... Happy Birthday!!! Everything you wrote - looks like a solid plan and attitude on your way to having a good life ahead of you (today and tomorrow). I do not know you well, but I can safely assume that you and I... have much more to be thankful for... compared to others. I admire your conviction in staying strong in your faith in God... as I struggle on an every day basis to renew mine. It's just that I've known much sorrow, illness and death around me, near me... for the last 5 years now... so much... that's it getting hard to stay strong and not so cynical. Take care. :) Hi Tina.
