They say that the first forty years of our life provides the foundation for a more fruitful and productive life. Because at this age, we learn to suspend our judgment and we tend to look at an issue with a more comprehensive view. This is a more descriptive way of saying, we become 'wise' at forty.
For most women, this age is the age of reason and victory having overcome few races and becoming more knowledgeable as to pacing in life. And when they have held themselves high, we become more fascinated with them, and accord them respect they well-deserved.
Luchie, our birthday celebrant, may have been the epitome of such women who have come to age of reason and victory. We personally witnessed her patience and persistence in trying to come up with a good get-together thanksgiving party; we have been personally shown of her humility in closing deals, and most of all, of how her friends loved her by actively participating in the activities during this celebration.
So, Kudos to Ma'm Luchie and her family! And we wish her 40 more years of eventful and blessed moments ahead.
Cheers!
