I have decided to take the bull by its horns!! That's It!! Man... I am so tired of this slump, that now it's time for some serious a$$ kicking!
Even though the countdown is running down to turning 49, I am not going to let that stop me from enjoying what is left of 48!!
I have to share with you... for as long as I can remember, when it came close to my birthday, inside the seven day hot zone, I would start celebrating the last days of that year! I can still remember celebrating the last Friday before turning sixteen, and so many other "last Fridays" too! No matter what day your birthday lands on, you will always have a last Friday to celebrate!
The "seven day hot zone" is the last week you are any particular age. Why do I call it that? I have no clue... maybe because it sounded cool. Really, who cares.. it gave me a reason to go out an celebrate longer! wink, wink.
I have always loved birthdays, and still do. I feel that someone's birthday is their special day. The day that the rest of us were blessed with having this person become a part of our lives, a part of our world.
As a child, we always celebrated birthdays. Everyone's birthday. I loved it then, and love it even more now... as long as it isn't mine! hahaha! Alright, alright... I love celebrating, just not the aging part.
Seriously now, birthdays are my thing. Once I find out when your birthday is, that's it! Written down in my calendar, or rather entered in my phone. After that, I will always remember you on your day and will let you know too.
So why have I been a pill lately? For someone that has NEVER had an issue aging, I have made up for it this past week! I mean HOLY COW!! Get over it already!! I mean, seriously! What's going to happen twenty years from now? I'll probably be wishing I was turning 50 again! LOL!!
Therefore, I will not fight it anymore. I will look upon myself as a fine wine. wink. I will only get better with time!! Even though, I didn't celebrate "my last" Thursday, Friday and Saturday like in years gone by, my last Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of the seven day hot zone will make up for it!
A comfortable old age is the reward of a well-spent youth. Instead of its bringing sad and melancholy prospects of decay, it would give us hopes of eternal youth in a better world. ~Maurice Chevalier
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. ~Mark Twain
Old age is no place for sissies. ~Bette DavisOne last note... I must say that it is great timing too! What a day for this to happen... my blog reached 20,000+ views today!!! WOW! Very cool. So humbling.
Blessings to all!!
81 days to go...
