birthday reflections...

...today

as i celebrate - another birthday year - quietly - and ponder...

these days - birthdays tend to be just another day - not really a lot of fanfare about them - mostly i am grateful for the living - that i have made it to another year - gone by - that god has graced me - with the blessing - of being able to say - i'm another year older - yet i don't necessarily "feel" any older - i really believe age - is simply a state of mind - only a number - we allow ourselves to feel as old - as we want to feel

i never know how old - i'm supposed to be - or what my age is supposed to be reflective of - if that makes sense - the years pass by - yet i continue to feel like i'm still in my 20's - even though my body - may deny it - as i said - i believe it's a state of mind - i have a sister - who thinks she's as old as she really is - believes her body is falling apart - feels and senses every iota of the passing years - i just don't go there - oh, my body certainly does creak - it moans - i let it - but i don't pay a lot of attention to it - there are too many other important things - to attend to - don't you think? friends, family, nature, food, books, shoes - and a whole host of other things - i mean the list just goes on - and on - and on - it really does quite add up to...

a

happy day.....
