Today is the 50th anniversary of my birth. I appreciate the cards, calls, emails and Facebook posts, but I’ve never really understood what all the fuss is about. After all, I didn’t do anything except be born. But it is nice to hear from friends and family.
I must admit that despite my 50 years upon this planet, I don’t have much profound to share with you. But here are a few random thoughts clanging around in what passes for my mind these days.
1. I go to sleep earlier but don’t sleep as late as I used to.
2. I know more but remember less.
3. I prefer winter over summer, but I’d rather it just stay 70 degrees all the time.
4. I am not embarrassed to get my AARP card in the mail.
5. I have more memories than dreams, but thank God, I still have a few dreams.
6. Coke Zero is my soft drink of choice, even if sugar & calories didn’t matter.
7. I am more deeply in love with Kim today than on the day we married 22 years ago.
8. My faith is stronger and my convictions firmer than ever.
9. I miss old friends more than I used to.
10. I don’t mind Kacie asking me questions as much as I did when she was little, but now I have fewer answers.
I told you, there’s nothing profound here. But these are my thoughts. I figured I’d better share them while I could remember them.
