My first fifty birthdays seemed to be all about me, and rightly so, after all it was MY BIRTHDAY. Today was different, I woke up this morning I decided that I wanted my next fifty birthdays to be about someone or something else. I decided that from now on each year on my birthday I would be involved in a service project, be a volunteer for something or do a random act of kindness for someone.

Today I was able to help with a clean up project in downtown Bangkok. We picked up litter on the sidewalks and scrubbed down bus stop waiting areas. It was a wonderful way to celebrate my birthday, giving back is so much more rewarding then receiving.
All that being said, I am not refusing the wonderful tripod for my camera that my husband gave me, I do have my priorities straight.
