I’m one year older today. I suppose I’m a bit wiser. But now I’m one step closer to 40. In 30 minutes it will be T-365 days till my next birthday. I’ve been up since 5 am and have been pretty much running on caffeine. No, I do not have any Red Bull in my system. There were many pleasant surprises today. Including a birthday balloon in my office and a cheesecake messengered over by my friend. I’m not use to people being this thoughtful. And I’m actually quite touched by these little gestures.

During the day, I was running away from my co-workers while they serenaded me with the usual happy birthday song. And my only hiding place was my office. Unfortunately, the doors are also transparent. I guess there really is no place to hide.

My evening ended with a quiet dinner with my family. As my birthday comes to an end I reflect on the things that are most important to me. And that’s my friends and family. So let the countdown begin.
