I've just read from someone's FB MyDay story about "simple celebration" for his mother's birthday. Then it hit me.. when did I last make a celebration? When did I last celebrated my birthday?
I would always thank God on my birthday, because He allowed me to live another day, another year. But as I think about it, seems like I've been doing that out of obligation. It's like, "yeah, I'm still alive so thank You."
I am sorry, LORD. Please restore to me the joy of Your salvation.
I can't remember the last time I spent my birthday at home. If it wasn't for the pandemic, I'd be most likely spending it somewhere else. But I realized it's not bad at all.
After 7 and a half months of being away from home I decided to go back in time for my birthday. I didn't want to observe such day at the dorm amongst not-really-strangers but people who are not personally close to me. I'd rather spend it alone somewhere with beautiful scenes where my mind can be at ease and peace.
Speaking of peace of mind, I had a 4-day streak of exercise. Besides my need for fresh air, it felt like my whole being has been on haywire and having an outdoor exercise would help. I'm only taking a break today because my thighs hurt a little. They're not sore but they don't feel comfortable. I also need to fix my running shoes. I could buy a new one, but the old one could still be of use.
