Days such as today always make me take stock of my life. And recently I realised maybe it is patience I need to learn. The word alone makes me scowl mentally. I realised I've sorely lacked it because I always liked to get things done. And starting over again in South Africa takes time. Lots and lots of it. So along with learning patience (cringe), I want to think up new life goals so I can work towards something, anything...else I will drift around aimlessly like a burnt orange autumn leaf.

Born too soon
The Parental Units love to see me cringe - they are always telling me when I was conceived. *cringe*blech!* Anyway that fateful day was the 5th February, while they visited India. The doctor estimated I would be born on the 31st October. How wonderful it would have been to have a Halloween birthday! But no, I was impatient and decided to say hello to the world today, 27 years ago.

Happy birthday :) And that's a good plan. When you do get round to the thinking, remember that life goals are a huge thing - so your approach should be conducive to getting the best out of the process.
Personally, i'd distance myself from the usual ongoing life - cut myself off and then think about what's really really important to me in the bigger picture of existence. And then plan how i want to progress - step by step. Because small, consistent steps are bound to be more effective and lasting than trying to over-exert yourself in big things.
Anyway, all the best for the future.
Happy Birthday!!! May you have many more years filled with good health, wealth and happiness.
I know its tough (yeah I'm impatient too, want everything done yesterday)...but just give it time. These things require a transition phase. But all the best :)
Wow you were really impatient! Happy birthday! I think starting again in South AFrica must be really tough, I keep wondering how I would cope. I think it would take me a looooooong time to readjust.
Happy Birthday!
Looks like all great minds are born in August. I celebrated my birthday last week. :-)
