Hi Tanmeet, this idea of navigating uncertainty hits home for me. My wife's health, my daughter's ability to be on her own, if and when we should sell our house and relocate, and where . . . these are my major uncertainties but I still hold joy in my life and I have so much to be grateful for. I, too had a cancer scare and went through a successful treatment. Looking back,that experience was helpful in shaping my attitude toward today's uncertainties and challenges. That was also when I started a more consistent gratitude practice (thank you!).

I'm so happy for your good health, and grateful for your writing today. I love your birthday tradition of treating someone and it reminded me of the few occasions on my birthday that I gave my mother flowers. That was more fun than receiving a gift!

Enjoy your Birthday celebrations!

My heart skipped a beat reading about your scare, and I completely understand the power of second chances, new days, beginning ever and ever again. Relieved for you AND trusting you will have many more birthdays. Happy Birthday!

β€œI have a personal tradition of finding a way to treat someone I love on my birthday week as my offering to this universe of gratitude for being here and being loved. Sometimes it’s dinner, a coffee date, an experience…”

I love that!! I also love that you celebrate it all week.

I’m glad the medical scare is ok, for now. xx

We celebrate all birthdays in our house for a week, although truth be told, I did my 50th a few times that year, LOL! This part, treating someone else, is the BEST part of the week.
