Last Sunday, October 20, was my 47th birthday and it's amazing to think that I'm getting closer to 50. Time has gone by so fast that I was still getting used to saying I was 46 and now it turns out to be 47. I have no problem with mentioning my age, nor is it something that worries me, in fact, it is just that it is a little hard for me to accept that time passes, even if you do not feel ready to assume the changes it brings with it. Time does not stop, although sometimes we would like to put life on pause for a moment, to think, to look for ourselves, to find meaning in what we do every day.
Curiously, this feeling of nostalgia does not come to me when I look in the mirror, but it happens to me frequently when I look at my children and my nephews and nieces. I always ask myself: At what point did they stop being children? I think I am already experiencing the Empty Nest Syndrome, even though my children still live with me. I can't stop tears from flooding my eyes every time I see pictures of my nephews and nieces who live out of the country. In those pictures I see beautiful young people, but I also see the children I could hold in my arms and fill with kisses. I am well aware that it is the most normal thing in the world, that children grow up and start an independent life, in fact I am happy to see them happy, but something inside me does not accept that time passes.
In other aspects of my life, I am a person very open to change, I am very willing to adapt to new technologies and I like to be constantly learning. At this age I have many projects in mind, many things I want to learn, many other things I want to try and I can say that I feel optimistic about life. I am a fairly active person in terms of work and everything I have been doing in recent years with respect to the work aspect, I like it. I am happy with the decisions I have made, with what I have let go and let go of.
The greatest feeling that comes over me on my birthday is, without a doubt, gratitude. Every day I give thanks for the joy of appreciating a new dawn, but on my birthday my gratitude is special. I do not usually have parties, because celebrating life is much more than dancing or toasting, however I consider that commemorating the day that began our personal history is very important and should not be ignored. This year I was able to share with my family and also with my closest friends, so I feel very happy and grateful to have the joy of having another year.
