It’s My Birthday

Today is my birthday. I’m 42. I’m going to work. I’m not taking off. I’m not ashamed of growing older. I just keep laughing and wondering where the time went. I used to be afraid of watching the year turn, but no more.

Growing old is an honor. One that I intend to embrace. I’ve gotten healthier and I’m happier. I went to the doctors a couple of weeks ago and all my labs look great. I had even lost 10 pounds since I last saw him. I still have weight that I want to lose, but I was inspired by the scale since I started reading labels and watching my carbs.

What is my wish? That 2017 be amazing!

That’s it.

I’ve come along way and I have many miles to go. I will keep learning and keep growing. I will keep writing. 42 is just a number and you know what? I’m happy to have made it.

  1. Have a very happy birthday! I hope the cutting carbs plan allow for a little bit of birthday cake? If you can’t have cake on your birthday, when can you?!
    That said, congratulations of losing 10 pounds – that’s amazing. I have a stubborn 7 pounds I’m going to try and shake this year 🙂
    Have a great day!

  3. Happy Birthday dear! You are 1075 vintage like me! I’ll be joining you as a 42 year old in September!
    I agree that age is just a number! You’re only as old as ‘the man you feel’… which is why I got a husband younger than me! LOL!

    I am at the birthday party. This is my own share of the birthday cake I sliced out. I am taking it home. It will be delicious. While I savor it soon, I wish you a sweet birthday and many.. many.. many.. many… many… more to come!

  46. Belated Happy Birthday! 🙂 And do yo know that according to Douglas Adam’s (“The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) 42 is the ultimate answer? (The snag is, we do not know what the question is…) 😉 I wish you a wonderful year!

  47. Belated Happy Birthday! I will share my age even though it is not my birthday as a means of encouragement. I was 70 on my last birthday. I am also a writer and will continue to write as long as my fingers will embrace the keyboard and the mind and heart have the desire. I am loving life and in pretty good physical shape because I have taken good care of my body over the years. One bit of advice I have heard many times over my life is to enjoy each day as if it is your last and you will have an amazing life. Blessings.
