why does a birthday gift need to be something you can see,feel,hear or touch?So this year I decided to surprise my dad with a unique birthday gift..I took a day off and did a 10k for his birthday..Well, as random as the thought seems,it wasn't random though..I started training for it about 4-5 weeks earlier..Pushing your body to achieve something you haven't done in years, leads you to a path of self discovery and self connect.The heart,mind,body and soul all are in a complete state of unison.
As I went about the 6.2 miles or 10 Km, my mind went back to all my childhood memories,all my growing years with him,his smile,his composure and simplicity.By the time I finished the course,I felt so emotional.I felt as though inspite of all this physical distance separating us,I had just hugged him for his birthday!!!
and somewhere I found the mantra for celebrating birthdays of all important people in my life..#10kforyou..A birthday gift for a loved one does not need to be something you can see,feel,hear or touch.It can be your path of self discovery and enlightenment which illuminates the day for them ..
Happy Birthday Papa!!!!
