• Birthdays Come and Go

    Our birthdays come and go and have some strange properties depending on where you are in this game of life. When we are young it seems like our birthdays take forever to come. Second only to the wait for Christmas is the wait for our next birthday. I would ask for something I wanted and mom would tell me to put it on my birthday list. It seemed that was the death of the want because it seemed like my next birthday was eons away. 

  • That Was Then. This Is Now.

    That was thenWhen I was younger, I eagerly anticipated my birthday each year. Month by month, I impatiently waited for the day of celebration, believing it would never arrive.

    That was then. This is now.

    Now, I still anticipate my special day each year, where everyone should celebrate me, but it seems to come much faster than it used to.
