I love birthdays - usually other people’s peoples birthdays. In a way, it takes the focus off of me and I am able to draw my energy towards someone else regardless if there is a celebration or not. Looking over the past years or decades of their lives and seeing where they are now is always an informal learning experience for me.
I like anniversaries, because I am always amazed that two people can stay together 5, 10 years and beyond. Two people that can work together when times are not ideal. Though I don’t think being and staying married is a measurement of a person’s character, I still look up to people that can be dedicated to something, whatever it is.
Today is my mother’s 59th birthday and Steve’s parents 59th wedding anniversary!
I love birthdays too. I hope this is a good day to all of you!
