Birthdays

Interesting how a birthday can have such a strong good impact on you, or a strong negative impact on you. This past birthday had almost no impact on me. In fact I'm feeling uneasy about not feeling something. There were heartfelt well wishes and cards. A wonderful dinner (at Spagos!) in the company of really good people. But it turned out to feel more like "just another day". Maybe the timing clash with Easter activities. Oh well. I learned a new song out of it. It's called People My Age, by John Gorka. Check out his songs. I don't want to sound unappreciative. I've got MUCH to be thankful for generally, and I got more birthday recognition than might be reasonable. Some days are just days. Better to have them than not. Eternity will happen eventually. For now, I'm glad to be here breathing.
