Assalamualaikum
I'm 42 today..sure..phone has been ringing with calls & messages. Wonderful, thoughtful friends & family have remembered (even my unit trust & insurance agents remebered). The wishes have changed somewhat..if before it has always been have a wonderful/exciting/eventful day of your lifetime. Now it's more like May your day be filled with iman & taqwa..ameen. I guess it's the 40 and above mantra. Remembering the day we expire from earth....but for me I'm glad the wishes changed because it spurs me to become a better person spiritually.
My boys...including the oldest (my hubby) sang me a birthday song in the wee hours of the morning. My other half asked me yesterday what I wanted and I said peace on earth and healthy children. He said that's a tough order so he'll settle for something that he could buy. I don't know what I want that's the problem..and in this tough economic times it feels rather selfish asking for anything but he insists so we're off today to get me something.Hahaha.....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME....OLE ME???.....OLE BUT YOUNG AT HEART :))))))
