Today I am 35 years old!
I am not scared to grow old, with the exception of looming death, I am quite excited to grow up and grow old! I don't feel any older today than I did a month ago, or even a year ago. The only physical trait that proves I am getting older is the fact that I have a handful of grey hairs - actually the are stark white...I call them my "Vitiligo hairs". I am not afraid of my hair turning grey/white, I am going to embrace it and not an ounce of hair dye will hit this head!
Today for my birthday I have asked Greg that we do nothing. I don't want a party, don't want a cake, don't want to go out for supper. I simply want to watch a movie and eat some chips tonight! Those who are close to me and know me best may be shocked by those facts! Five years ago, for my 30th birthday, I threw myself a grand party! My mom made me the best ever birthday cake - an Aerosmith cake!!! I had all my friends and family there and I loved it! Five years later, I have one more kid and a job and quite frankly, I am tired!!
I am having a lovely day so far, thankful for all the wonderful birthday wishes from family and friends. There is nothing like a birthday to make a person feel loved!
For anyone in my life who might think that what I said before about being tired and not wanting to do anything will continue in the future...just a heads up that if five years when I turn 40 I want a HUGE party!!!!!!!!!!!!
