Well – another birthday has come and gone (as of yesterday) and I was thinking about all the things you hear about as you get older. How aging sucks and is so hard – in the end, its just something we do.
I went and enjoyed a wonderful dinner with friends (Red Lobster rules!), got the obligatory call from Mom and Grandma, and otherwise spent it as I would any other day. All in all – it was great!
Most years, I would mainly spend them by myself – put in an appearance for the family thing – then retire for the night. The last two years, however, have been spent with not only family, but friends as well. You see – I’m not very big on celebrating my own birthday, but I love celebrating other peoples. It’s not that I’m afraid of getting older – it’s just another day to me personally, but to see the smile on someone’s face when it’s THEIR day makes it all worthwhile to me.
So in closing – I turn the page on another year and got to enjoy a truly special time with those I care a lot for – dear friends that made my 36th birthday that much more memorable.
