I was in a ballroom-full of lawyers yesterday, listening to talks about tax, arbitration, cybersecurity, AI and copyright laws. All the while working on three stories for publication. One is still in editing limbo and I’m already on my leave. 🤦🏻‍♀️

What’s my agenda for today? After buying food outside to feed my brood and extended family, I will just shutter myself in my room and play games on my pc, read my books, or paint.

I’m 46. Gone were the days when my friends and I would be partying the night away. Even coffee dates are hard to schedule just to catch up with friends. I value sleep these days over going out. Keeping inner peace is my thing now.

My girls woke me up at exactly 12 midnight by hugging me while I was sleeping. I was half-awake when they greeted me Happy Birthday.

This is all what life is about: Love. I have everything I need.

Thank you, Lord, for the 46 years. I’m still healthy, I’m still strong, I’m still mentally sharp. Some of my classmates and friends have already been gone. It’s a privilege to reach this age.
