Happy Birthday to Me...
Today was a good day. Even though I had to work on my birthday, I still enjoyed my day and thanked God for his many blessings.
Many people at work today made a special effort to make my birthday special. One of the assistants that I work with, whom I joke around with about being my California mom, came in on her day off and brought me a cake. She told me that she doesn't know what it feels like to be alone and not with family on her birthday and she just wanted to let me know that I'm in her heart today. It was so sweet to hear that, especially from someone who usually doesn't show her emotional side. That means a lot because my mother loves to cook and it blesses her to cook for others and I have always had a wonderful cake for my birthday. I think she felt sad because this is the first birthday that she couldn't make me a cake. My mom joked earlier this week about how she would make me a cake but she didn't think I would want to eat it after it got shipped to me. Another sweet lady that is an associate made me a pan of caramel brownies. Everyone else that knew it was my birthday made an effort to wish me a happy birthday. It's a wonderful feeling to know that there are people how care about me and I'm beginning to experience the family culture of the company.
I'm excited because I started my day off today at work sharing with an associate a little about how God changed my life. He asked me if I was going out tonight and I told him no and he asked why. He thought something bad happened in my life to stop me from going to the bar and parting but I told him that it was something good that happened in my life and God changed me and made me new. Plus I was able to explain to him who I'm not religious and I believe that God deals with us each individually on different stuff in different seasons of our life.
Another blessing I received today was the new friends that I met last week at my church ministry group called me and wished me happy birthday. Since I was working I couldn't hang out with them but next week they are taking me out to celebrate my birthday. It feels good to finally start to get connected to some people who are cool that I can relate with.
Since it was my birthday, I let myself off of my strict veg diet and let myself enjoy my birthday. I didn't realize how clean my body was from bad food till I ate some of my birthday cake and after I had a couple of brownies. Almost immediately I could till my body was trying to release the toxins that I consumed because of the taste in my mouth and by the way my stomach was acting. I let myself eat some Chinese food for supper. I had moo goo gai pan which is one the more healthier meals you can get at an American Chinese place. It's a bunch of vegetables stir fried with pork. Later that night I started to feel kinda bad and I hope I don't feel bad in the morning but it scares me because I probably will.
