Good day folks! In the words of Bilbo Baggins
"Today is my 111th Birthday"
Well actually today is my 23rd birthday! For those of you who read and have read The Lord of The Rings Trilogy you will be aware that Bilbo and Frodo were born on the 22nd September!!!
Firstly i am thankful to God Almighty for each and everyone of you, whether i know you well or not so, Thank You.....[insert name]. For everyone who has ever come across me, i hope that you can say it's been a positive experience, for that is how i have tried to set out my stall, not to judge, not to hate, not to be a bad person to anyone, i know that i am only human and that indeed i may have failed in some of those respects for that i apologise to you.
Secondly thank you to all of you who have passed on birthday wishes it was surprising to get so many! I was quite shocked, thank you all, very kind of you.
So i'm now 23 and what have i learnt in the past year of my life??? Well, now, in the past year i have loved and lost. Jay, i thank you for every minute we had with each other from the bottom of my heart with deepest sincerity. I am glad that we are still able to talk.
What else have i learnt, i learnt how to play the acoustic guitar! Here is a picture of my baby.
I've almost learnt to drive! I've learnt how to cope with being a failure at university and i hope in the next year to pass my two exams and get some sort of degree!!!! I am learning each day to be ok with the fact that my future isn't in my hands, its in God's hands.
I learnt the story of Gol and made a friend that night :)
I have had many a memory from this past year and i love the fact that i made some close new friends in the past year and got reacquainted with old ones. For Vic and Mairead and Erin and Asha a toast to the past year and to many more!!!!
On a more silly note! I gots a new TV its big and its beautiful! For my birthday my friends all chipped in and got me the complete Battlestar Galactica on Bluray! I am very thankful and will enjoy immensely!!!
I wish i had some wise words to finish with but i don't!
Thanks guys for a great birthday! Thank you everyone who has been in my life in my 23 years of living!
Thank you Jesus. Amen
Gol sends his most sincere birthday wishes to you, Niall.
ReplyDeleteHe wishes he could be here to say it personally, but he is very busy at present, coordinating a beginners course in Floatation and Aqua Navigation. He's preparing some junior driftwood trainees for their maiden voyage on the ocean of possibility.
Thus is the calibre of daily life for a noble hero such as Gol. He has most certainly gone on to better things.
