Counting The Days

November 28, 2006 | Category: Reflections & Musings

6 days to go.

You know I doubt it that any of my friends would remember my you-know-what this year. Everyone’s seem so caught up with life and work. So I’m not going to mind at all. I’d probably just go buy Starbucks or whatever and get me a nice muffin, put a candle on it and make the biggest wish ever. Who knows with another 6 days to go, I might just change my mind and not do anything at all and just be blessed that I’m here now.

Gosh, I can’t imagine that turning…umm…a year older can be such mellow-shallow business. Ha, you thought I was going to reveal my age didn’t you. In your dreams.

A commenter friend ask me yesterday what I wish for my you-know-what. I said, “I wish to be slim and healthy and also to get a boyfriend!” Of course I was only kidding about the boyfriend part because it sounded cheesy. We laughed and he said, “Wishing for a boyfriend is not cheesy, it’s only a wish to be content and happy.” It wasn’t wrong for me to wish nor it wasn’t wrong for him to say I wanted to be happy and content. I do. I want to be happy.

Although we did admit that we both have stopped wishing for the other half to come by years ago. He said, “Just wait and be patient” I replied, “I’ve been so patient that I sometimes tend to forget about it, I really don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing”. Really it isn’t because in truth, a man or woman doesn’t make (or do they really) another complete. At least not what a good friend said recently. She always thought that a man would complete her but when she first took a look at her newborn, she knew she was complete; with or without a man. I believe that every person experience and want different things in life, therefore realizing different outcomes.

Maybe a man will complete me, I really don’t know. But I’m glad to say I am quite happy being on my own right now, despite the occassional whinning. If I do meet someone, I’ll go with the flow like it has always been. I’m just going to wait and be patient.

    isn’t it exciting to count down day till you start another chapter of life..for me thats how i see myself as i approach another year of getting older :) its another leaf turn into another adventure called life…well you are right there Dee, having a partner in life does not determine one’s being complete. Most important thing in life how is see it is..to make it as interesting to one’s self even though how boring really it may seem. :)

    remember: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

    Lucifer: I never thought of counting the days to my birthday to be honest. I love your quotations by the way. :D
