To you.... On my birthday.
It feels as though it was just yesterday when I was celebrating my 23rd birthday.
BOY has so much changed in 365 days.
I can honestly say that 23 was a year of accomplishments.
This past year has opened my eyes to a whole new world of adventures, great experiences, new loves, amazing characters, true friends and a person I didn't know I could be. I would like to say that I'm responsible for my new growth, this new path I've chosen to follow but quite honestly.... I was merely the body.
My friends and family have sculpted me into who I am today. They have guided me and showed me the light onto this unseen world. Mind you they may have pushed me out of a plane, guided me through shark terrain, led me through packs of elephants and pushed me off a bridge with merely a rope as my savior but you know what- I'd do it again.
These new adventures have been shared with the people most close to me and that, dear reader, is what birthdays are for. To celebrate another successful year of breathing.
breathing in new experiences- good or bad,
Breathing in new adventures- scared or not
Breathing in Life- willingly or not.
And not being afraid to exale.
We have all been gifted this day.
We have all been gifted life.
My question to you- is what have you done with yours?
Sawna- what have you done?
Oh well- I thought you'd never ask.
Since my 23rd birthday.
I have grown life(veggies)
Ran a marathon,
Traveled across the world,
Received my scuba diving certification and dove in Mexico/Thailand/Belize
Cared for elephants
Volunteered my time
Ran several half marathons
swam in several different waterfalls
Sky dived
bungee jumped
donated platelets
signed up to be a bone marrow donor
Joined a running team...
And loved and experienced happiness
Love is the most important factor of them all. My love for my family and friends have created a life of happiness and without them- I wouldn't exsist.
So to my family and friends, I applaud you.
For successfully bringing another year of true happiness into my life.
Who knows what my 24th year will bring me- but one thing I know is that you'll be right by my side.
CHEERS to another year!
I love you all
Till next time,
Peace, love and happiness
