Today's my birthday.
Advertisements [?]
I'm 55. How odd it feels, not because I realize that's kinda OLD (it is!), but because this year, age doesn't matter. Worrying about a number seems so trivial. That's good, really. Maybe I'm less shallow than I was when 40 knocked me over for a day. I've taken the day off work so I can enjoy my birthday, but my sweetie's at work, it's cold and rainy outside, and I'm watching political talking heads on tv. Well, and hanging out in DU. Feeling kind of depressed.

I've paid so much attention to the suffering in the world and the politics of it that I'm having a hard time remembering how to not pay attention so I can enjoy this one day.

Any words of wisdom? Other birthdays out there today? How's this year's birthday for you?
