This is me at my wedding.
Much has happened in the last 30 years, even more since the day of my birth, 57 years ago. Today, I will wear a smile, no matter what! I always enjoy my birthday!
So many women (and men too!) shy away from owning up to the years they’ve earned. It’s something I’ve never understood. Why not be happy and even proud to say what age you are? Sure we’re getting older, but it doesn’t mean we’re getting worthless as we do. In fact, I’d argue that I’m in the prime of my life as the years tick on. Do body parts age and let me down? Absolutely but that’s the exchange for gaining knowledge and making it to some semblance of wisdom in those later years. I’m very happy to breathe every day and especially on the day of my birth. Because that day was a special day. There is not another human being like me around. I’m unique and for that reason alone, I think people should celebrate their day.
To all my Birthday Twins out there today, and to those who have an upcoming one –
I WISH YOU A FANTASTIC DAY!! ❤ ❤ ❤
I needed this so much today. Thank you.
Your poetry is beautiful
