Life no longer rushes forward as it did in youth; instead, it unfolds with a sense of purpose, contemplation, and appreciation for all that has been and all that remains.

Reaching 70 is a celebration of life — a testament to resilience, love, and the beauty of the human experience.

Turning 70 years old is a profound life milestone, a moment to pause and reflect on the journey of life — the triumphs, the lessons, the losses, and the wisdom gained along the way.

In the Mayan calendar, the 70-year cycle served as a mean of transmitting knowledge across generations, from those who would have possess a wealth of experiential knowledge to pass on to younger generations. This cyclical view of time emphasizes the importance of continuity and the interconnectedness of past, present, and future.

MY JOURNEY OF 7 DECADES

Looking back, it is astounding how quickly time passes. Childhood feels like a distant dream, filled with laughter, innocence, and the unbreakable bonds of family. I remember the days of youthful enthusiasm, when the world was full of possibilities and each experience was new. The transition into adulthood brought challenges, responsibilities, and the pursuit of dreams.
