Happy Yalda!

Last night, I was feeling great, celebrating the longest night of the year with friends and family. But then, suddenly, I wasn’t feeling so good.

Turns out, I got sick. In the middle of the night. During Yalda.

I had to cut the celebration short and head home. It was a bummer, for sure. But at least I made it home, where I could rest and recover.

Now I’m just taking it easy, drinking tea, and letting my body heal. I’m still disappointed that I missed out on the festivities, but I know it’s better to take care of myself and get better.

First White Hair: A Sign of Wisdom?

Today, I noticed my first white hair. It’s a small, wispy reminder that I’m getting older. But instead of feeling sad or stressed about aging, I choose to see it as a sign of wisdom.

Every year we live, we learn new lessons, gain new experiences, and grow wiser. Our white hairs are a physical manifestation of that wisdom and growth.

So, I embrace my first white hair. I’ll embrace everyone that comes after it too. And I’ll keep learning, growing, and becoming wiser every day.

I’m grateful for every year I’ve lived and for every lesson I’ve learned. I’m excited for all the wisdom and growth that’s yet to come.
