The Nature of Things

Birthdays are a time for reflection as well as celebration. A time to think about how far we've come and where we want to go in the future. Reflecting on my journey so far led me to think about my philosophy of life, what I believe. Serendipitously - or perhaps it was fate - I chanced across this which seemed to pretty well sum it all up. I especially like that "Age is just a number" bit as well as the cherish every moment of love bit. Having a love to cherish makes the mounting "numbers" a little easier to bear. 

It's my sweetie's birthday, and it's a big one this year. One of those with a zero. It's time to pause and be thankful for all those years, especially the forty spent with me! So, another year older, but never mind. My heart's eyes will always see him as forever young.

When I fired up the old laptop this morning and called on my friend, Google, this is what I saw. Hmmm, I thought, some famous person has the same birthday as me. Then I ran my cursor over the doodle and read, "Happy Birthday, Dorothy!" Wow! My friend Google remembered my birthday. I didn't know she/he/it cared. I guess it's true that Google really does know all my secrets.  Will birthday greetings from the NSA be next? Anyway, all of that is just to say that I'm taking a birthday break. Normal blogging will resume tomorrow...or whenever I recover from my celebration.
