Another year

This year I find myself feeling my age.

I don’t have the stamina anymore to program all night.
I have trouble reading small text.
I can’t remember when I had a 24 inch waistline.
I get tired doing physical activity - probably I take the train to the office as oppose to walking most of Ayala.
I have poor memory - gone were the days I can remember everything that were discussed in a meeting.
I can’t write legibly - hmmm the last time I wrote legibly was when I was still a second grader - so this doesn’t count.

Feeling my age also made me realize I am complete. I may not have everything I wanted but I have more than I could hope for.

From a life of pursuit, I now pursue life.
From working for what I lack, I live for what I have.
From days of gloom to appreciation what a day may bring.
From living in the fastlane to throttling to a more meaningful pace.

Having gone through life’s challenges and tests, I realized there is that one thing that makes me who I am.
The people who learn from me. It feels good to see them successful. It feels good to have made a mark in their lives no matter how small it may be.
I would like to believe I live on through others whose lives I have touched one way or another. In the same way I hope I live up to the people who have touched mine.

Let us celebrate life!
