Post 40th Birthday Speech

Yesterday I hit 40 officially. I have set a couple of personal goals this year to mark the beginning of my adult life (yes, 40 is adulthood). I have fulfilled 3 so far..

1. I did my thorough health screening (aft 3-4 years of procrastination).
2. I got bk into the workforce (still part time but I'm in).
3. I attend a course on supporting adult learners with learning difficulties.

Other goals are still work in progress... like exercise (I finally tried yoga and I like it; Bodytec I don't enjoy it despite the results), diet, other skills acquisition and social life.

I had a good birthday yesterday. I went to work, relieving one of my colleagues so that she could enjoy her holiday and bond with her family. I sat with youngsters and supported them in their struggle to cope with the challenges they are facing. I discussed strategies with educators so that they can better manage the students in their care. I worked with my colleagues to share ideas to improve the quality of our services. I also gave my kids some space and opportunity to reflect and appreciate their mother (Sophie took time to make me a card and Alfee showered me with hugs and kisses after apologizing that he didn't give me any presents). And of cos I let CK take over parenting for a day!!!
