My Birthday

I try not to make a big deal of my birthday

but this one is a milestone.....

65

So I guess in order to start to believe that I have reached this age,

the more I say it and write it,

the more I will believe it!

I remember Ron's mother saying when she turned 65

that she didn't feel any different than she did

when she was 21.

Until she looked in the mirror and realized

that she didn't look the same.

I basically feel the same way

and know that I don't look the same.

How could I?

And,

why would I want to?

I am very content in being where I am

and I find the aging process,

which can be a pain in the butt sometimes,

to be one full of pleasant surprises

like beginning to accept the things that

you have no control over.

So, on this my birthday

I wish you all the best of days today.

And yes, those fireworks you may hear

if you live south of the border

are not part of my birthday

celebration.

Purely a coincidence!! lol
