Unfortunately my grandchildren are not able to be with me today. They had to return to Singapore a day earlier as they had school activities which now have been suspended because of the haze that has shot into the hazardous levels. Going out into the garden to bring in the laundry gives rise to headaches and an itchy throat which then results in a cough.
I woke up to see a lovely bouquet of orchids and many gifts on the dining table. It was such a lovely surprise. My younger daughter flew in a few days ago and my son will arrive this afternoon. Tonight we will celebrate my birthday with a dinner.
How does it make me feel to wake up on this day? I thank the good Lord for giving me this day to celebrate with my family. As my late father used to say, everyday you wake up is a bonus so give thanks.
I've received many good wishes from my children, siblings and friends. A big thank you to all of them for remembering. It feels beautiful to receive flowers and gifts. The greatest feeling is that of being loved and appreciated. Praise the Lord for His abundant blessings and a loving family, immediate and extended and of course my good old friends who have been with me for many many years.
