BIRTHDAYS

I have grown old, but never lost life's zest, Because the road's last turns can be the best.

Yesterday was my birthday. It was a glorious day. A day spent with daughters at a lunch at Kristy's business open house. A movie matinee with Joyce and then dinner at home. This morning, breakfast with Joyce and the four daughters and a great (wanted) gift of a new iPad. This Sunday, the entire family, all 29 of us, coming to the house for a family dinner. Even little Jack Dibblee is coming from Olympia, Washington. He's 2 months old so it will be the first time most of the family have ever greeted him.

Some people complain about birthdays. No me. I want to have many more. To stop celebrating birthdays will not stop the clock. You will not keep you young to ignore the day.
