Giving Thanks on New Year


While making dinner last night, I called my hubby and told him that I wanted to cancel my big birthday party. He asked me why I wanted to do that. Well, I said I have done so much for everyone in this house for their birthdays. Why would I want to cook, clean and prepare for my own? If he or my children cannot throw me a nice one, then we will just not having one. I wish I had the means to invite all my family and friends to a nice restaurant! Turning 50 is going to be a big one for me. I didn’t feel it a year ago. Now I have to listen to my body of what I can and cannot do. Our body is like a vehicle that needs a lot of loving and caring. If you take good care of your vehicle, it will last a long time. Otherwise, it will stop and die in a junkyard. Besides working hard all my life, I have never abused my body. I don’t wish to live forever, but I want to live as long as I can with a healthy body and mind. I still have so much planning for the future such as publishing books after books. I want to give many uplifting and inspiring speeches. I wish to help more lonely souls out there. Most of all, I wish I could be able to retire soon, so I can spend more time with my elderly mother in Vietnam. By the way, I just canceled my retirement in March because I am not financially ready at this time. But I have stayed focus each and every day to reach my goals of retiring young with my county career. Last night, I stayed up almost midnight to take the exam to work for United Health Care. It took me four tries to pass it. Their passing score is 85%. They allow six tries. I was so happy to see my score at 85.6%! I wish you could see how happy I was at that moment. Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed of a better and interesting life. I’m living my dreams now. I cannot ask for more this morning. I am happy and grateful for everything I have had. I give thanks to our heavenly Father always and appreciate everyone in my life. Thank You! 💕
