EEK! I’m Turning 36
Yes folks, it’s my birthday. I’m another year older and there’s a few more wrinkles. This year I found a great list of reasons to feel good about getting older:
1. It sure as hell beats the alternative.
2. I can still touch my toes.
3. Any occasion that encourages cake and gifts is a good occasion.
4. When I see a light at the end of a tunnel, I don’t automatically assume it’s a train.
5. Getting to bed by 10 p.m. is a blessing – not an embarassment.
6. To steal from a great country song…I’m old enough to know better, but still too young to care.
7. From here on out, I won’t care when people forget my birthday.
8. I’m not wearing reading glasses yet.
9. I’ve learned that No is not a four-letter word.
10. The longer you live, the smarter you get.
11. Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional.
12. If you keep your heart unwrinkled, you won’t need a wrinkle-free face to make a great impression.
I’m not 36. I’m 21 with 15 years of experience and I’m now fully twice as good as I was at 18!

11 is Truth.
There are moments in my life where I allow myself to be five: to have that joy and wonder at the world without a care. It is necessary to have those moments, to be alive.
