Thanks Intrepid! I’m smiling now, and that definitely keeps me young!

Looks like a great bike ride.

Literal Dan: You definitely write as though you’ve known yourself longer than twenty-seven years (love your “top ten” lists). Maybe your birth certificate is messed up? I’d be checking for suspicious smudges…

Intrepid: Yes! I’m feeling kind of twenty-ish… My grandma pointed out that she was double (!!!) my age at a “birthday lunch” yesterday. Big “wow” on that one. She lapped me!
Enjoyed a nice long bike ride today… Life is good!

Keep those birthdays coming! It beats the alternative. And 40 is the new 20, and 50 is the new 30, and 60 is the new 40…… etc., You know the deal. Have a great Birthday. You earned it!

I’m only 27 but I’ve always felt older than I am, so this advice feels relevant to me. I hope I am able to adjust to having this kind of balanced worldview as the years go by.

Thanks Ronald,
Photography credits on the first couple of photos go to my dad. He’s gone now but left us quite a photographic library!

Barbara,
Happy Birthday to you too! I, also, tend to forget my actual age until the annual event rolls around. Half the time I’ve already rounded “up” in anticipation of the inevitable (but I round “down” when I run or bike; go figure!), and it’s a pleasant surprise to find I’m not as old as I think I already am. Way too complicated! Need to go back to just counting candles…

Thank you JoJo!

Happy Belated Birthday! I hope you feel better about it, now that it’s past. It really is just a number. I have been doing such a good job of not thinking or worrying about my age that when I had my birthday last week, I had to actually do the math in order to figure out how young I was! (Notice I’m not saying “old.”)

Personally, I love birthdays. Always have and always will. It’s that cake thing.

Hope it was a good one. I love your blog but don’t have time to visit that frequently.
Warmly,
Barbara
