Alas, a not so landmark year came and went today, rather uneventfully of course. Thank goodness "some" of my closest friends remembered my birthday today otherwise it would have totally been the shits!
Aging has never bothered me as far as the numbers racking up. My problems with birthdays always comes around to, "What have I accomplished this past year, am I any closer to my goals, dreams, etc, etc, etc? Or did I merely stand like a stump for an entire year and watch 365 days pass me by without any new achievements or memorable occurrences?" This past year has been a toss up. Yep, I'm still kicking, and my children have survived my parenting skills for yet another year, which in itself should be momentous! But as for me? Well this year I think I'm a little more wearier for the wear.
I'm still wondering what I'm going to be when I grow up (yeah, I know, you would think at 41 I would have figured it out by now!). I still keep looking towards tomorrow wondering what it will bring and I tend to dwell on yesterday a little too much. So for my next 365 days I suppose I will concentrate a little more fully on "today, the here and now," the "what is" rather then the "what was" or "what could be." Because maybe, just maybe, when all is said and done, that's all that really matters..........
