Maligayang Kaarawan!!

I woke up really early this morning (what a great feat for someone who’s not a morning person like me…yay!).  Thought I’d colour my hair.  I deserve some pampering, anyway, it’s my birthday.  Yes. Today. Is. My. Birthday. Yay!

After a few hours, I checked my watch.  9 o’clock.  Just right on time.  So after grabbing a quick brekkie and checking the greetings sent by some of my friends, I drove off to church for the 10am Mass ‘in style’ with the beautiful sunshiny spring weather in company!

Wow, blessing after blessing!  

Need I say more? 

Parking space right in front of the church (reserved by the Lord for me!)  Birthday chat with my beau before the Mass.  Early morning greetings from friends (old and new!)  One of my fave church songs Morning Has Broken sung as opening hymn in the Mass.  The Mass celebrated by one of my fave priests.  Family and true friends.  Warm hugs, orange roses (one of my favorites!) and wonderful pressies from amazing friends.  More birthday wishes and greetings from family and friends.  Good food and the lovely beach.

I know these are such a cliché.  

But nothing’s a cliché when it comes to God’s outpouring of blessings!  Especially on one’s birthday!

So before my birthday ends tonight, I lift up my thanksgiving and praise to an awesome God who never ceases to amaze me with simple and grand blessings each day!

I just feel so very special even in my smallness.  

For I am blessed and loved by an infinite God!

Salamat Lord sa isang maligayang kaarawan!
