My b-day is the day after Christmas, and usually it's a great day for me. Everyone else has the after-holiday let down, it seems, but I get one more day. As a kid it wasn't great, because I never really had a b-day party. Everyone was visiting with family or too busy with the holiday, so it was hard to have big parties with my friends. But now as an adult, hubby and I go out to dinner every year. No one is in the restaurants or out that day, so we usually have a great time. The numbers don't bother me too much. This year will be #47. Only a little gray hair and I haven't dyed it yet. I could certainly lose a few pounds, but I'm healthy, and that's a huge plus. My youngest is 18, and we can do pretty much whatever we like when we like, but we do have a simple life. A movie or a nice hike makes me really happy. Overall, the years have been pretty good. When the bad stuff happens, I'm able to put it into perspective and keep plugging along. |
