Once again - It's HP time :)

I never complain about Birthdays.  I like Birthdays even mine but to have another one so soon, means that i will have to tone down the celebration a bit or maybe not! Just feels like a couple of days ago, i welcomed another year to my age and here i am, once again doing the same.  Well, looks like while i enjoyed all these days in the past year, time went by and the next Birthday came knocking.

Since taking the road to 40, my learning speed and direction seem to be cruising well. My brain map seems to comprehend much more though can't vouch the same for my body.  I still have to hold on to my joints lest they go missing or a muscle falls off place and my eyes see more of the same at times.
So as long as they stay together, the management is fine.  

Looking back to the days of last year, it has been a joy ride.  For a very long time i only thought Curacao was only the blue drink they mix with cocktails until we made a trip to the land from where it hails. :)

It was a history lesson combined with plenty fun and local exploring and not to forget got to watch the World Cup Cricket live, while we were there.  

I was still enjoying the blue water effect when Achyuta decided that a change would do me good. He tested and successfully passed his third degree Black Belt in Taekwondo .  I was very proud, patted myself in the back and sighed with relief and thinking that i did well to pursue the sport. So what if my son got the belt but i get the pat & Govi too . Hiyaaa.!!   Black seemed the new Blue ( sounds corny... who cares)

Spending time with family is always a highlight.  One doesn't need to talk all the time but being there in the same place matters more as the love shows.  

                                                  

Not to forget the joys of meeting friends from school and college.  Since we connected after long long years, the fun and games continue from where we left, each time we meet.  

And so the year moved on and we went on to visit Canada and Argentina 

The travels, family and friends are the continuous thread of joy that keeps me ticking other than of course Ping Pong. So to feed on my obsession, I am now a certified coach and umpire.  I know the primary reason for me playing this game was thanks to my mom but then i got two young men pushing me all through game. 

Life has been kind, so i take each day as it comes.  Not that i will give up on owning a Ferrari or anything else, i so desire but those can wait for another time, another year.  For now i will continue to eat, read, enjoy and will try never to miss play this year,  for who knows 

Thank you everyone for all your wishes for they are my food for the coming years!!
