Cordillera- Can you remember how and where you celebrated your
last birthday?
Celebrating a birthday is a very special occasion and anticipated by
most children, adults and old folks alike. This is the day you receive lots
of love, greetings and even gifts. A day when you feel like you are treated
extra special because you receive special favors or get away with some
minor offences.
While recalling those memories of the countless birthdays you've
celebrated, it's satisfying to know that you have given time for yourself to
be all about you, to receive all those love, care and affection.
But have you ever considered celebrating your birthday the other way
around?
Patrolwoman Ardayle Callueng, a police officer in Baguio Naguilan
Police Station (PS1) just did the opposite when she celebrated her birthday
in a Daycare center in Brgy. Fairview Baguio City as posted in the PNP
Cordillera FB Page.
Being grateful for another year full of blessings, she opted to give love,
joy and happiness to the children.
The gracious Patrolwoman Callueng gave the children some gifts like
disinfectant alcohol, facemasks and goodie bags not to mention the sumptuous
food she prepared for them.
Instead of receiving gifts and special favors, Callueng shared her
blessings and joy to the children who received them with so much
happiness.
You know you have already reached far in life when celebrating your
birthday is no longer just about the yummy food and drinks with family and
friends or the world revolving around you but the company and love that your
family and friends give, the gratitude you have for all the blessings
received in the past, the appreciation you have for the life you have lived
and the hope and gratefulness you have for the next chapter of your life and
whatever the future holds for you.
The next time you celebrate your special day, what's your plan? You
might also consider sharing your blessings and joy to those in need or to
charity.
You can always share your thoughts with us and we will all celebrate with
you.
Cheers to celebrating more birthdays in the future!
