a simple birthday
Although it doesn’t take a special occasion to remember how great our partners have been, but it does help to bring out the best of our partners.
I had a 3-day birthday celebration marathon for the last 3 days. It wasn’t common for me, I have always prefer a simple meal, or better still, not celebrating at all.
There is quite a fair bit of bad news lately, which impact on Mike’s work directly. I didn’t want anything extravagant for my birthday, so we had simple meals with friends and family.
Mike has been exceptionally supportive towards what I do. Crafting is an interest and it creates the best ideal job for me, since I get to work from home, and do what I love doing. Psychology and counseling has been my passion for the longest time. With my present work, I am able to take time to self study in the areas that interest me most.
Although the days ahead seem challenging, but Mike still take time, and effort to get me small surprises for my birthday. It takes willingness to keep the love in the marriage burning, and I am thankful we are both putting in tons of efforts and still enjoying every moment of it. It’s not trying or draining for us, it’s a process that we are both willing to enjoy.
