monday ruminations

thank all my students, friends and family for their well wishes!

but really don't understand...
40 the new 30...

if i never really understand how is it like being 30, what does this new 30 feels like?
i don't even know how 30 feels like when i am 30.

some things about being 40
1. new age group to compete in!
2. can honestly tell my students i am twice their age
3. should be walking out of promise land
4. can use age as excuse to slack...
5. more friends than before!
6. desire for better things in life... food, company, experience...(others that i will discover along the way)
7. scooter
8. my own place!
9. honestly i should be address as auntie by the younger ones when my students come with their children to visit me...

somethings that seems to be the same as when i am 30
1. wareobe seems to be the same with beach wear, tri gear, pants and blouses of black, white, kaki and loads of tee shirt. occasional dresses hidden somewhere.
2. still have 3 bikes (road, time trial and mountain bike)
3. friends!
4. desire for fun, new experience
5. still trying to train hard but never really make it

somethings i want to thank God for
1. family ... mom unwell but all in all, seems well
2. my faith... still a follower of Jesus. amazing how many times i ran away from God, He hold me back to Himself
3. my health.. can still do most things and other things that people my age stopped trying to do...
4. friends... good and wonderful friends who support and hang with me all these years
5. experiences of traveling, trying new things, desire to learn
6. my job! my job description that i could have... sports ministry/coach/mentor

there are other things that i am thankful for..
looking forward to...
more later..
after my 2 days celebration!
