Birthday musings

I've never been the kind of person to mind growing older. Some people throw such fits about their birthdays, but I love getting older. I turned 38 today. To me, each year is a chance to grow and become more of who you are meant to be. As I look towards turning 40 in a few years, I'm OK with it. Each passing decade has been much better than the one before. I feel like I'm figuring out who I am and getting more comfortable with myself. So, yeah...birthdays are good. Plus you get presents and you can say things like, "it's my birthday, you have to treat me nice today!" Surely I'm not the only person to do that, right? :-)
