Birthdays

I love birthdays.  I love the celebration of a life, the affirmation that the presence of one particular person in this world has made a difference.  I've lived long enough that it's no longer about the parties or the gifts (though a little cake is always nice).  I'm no longer one to look back on the days already lived to reanalyze the varying degrees of my accomplishments, nor will I look forward too far, making plans for the next and next and next big thing.


Today is simply a celebration that I'm here to live another day on Freistadt Road and a celebration of those in my life who have brought me here.  Happy Birthday to me!
