Happy Birthday To Me
Yesterday I celebrated my birthday - 74 and still going strong. The birthday wishes from sooo many people were really appreciated. To realize that sooo many people remembered me was fantastic. Some of those people that I haven't talked to or seen in many, many years still remembered me - HOO-RAY!
My Ellen told me that my 75th birthday will be a big one. I said that any birthday is great as long as I'm alive and in reasonably good health. Sooo, this one is special and every day after this one will also be special.
When you're young you take birthdays for granted. You love and enjoy the party, but you assume the next one will be just a year away. When you get over thirty, you also assume the next one will be just a year away, but you just hate that birthday number and don't like that that number will be even higher next year.
When you're a senior (like me) you don't assume anything. You're just happy you made it to another year. Appreciation is my favorite word. I appreciate being 74. I will appreciate every birthday from here on.
I suggest that on your birthday you take a step back and appreciate your:
Love Of Life
