Happy Birthday to Me
Saturday, 5 April 2025

Today’s the day - I'm officially 72, and I’m embracing it with gratitude (and maybe just a touch of pun). While I may not be as spry as I once was, I'm still here, still smiling, still kicking, and still counting my blessings, tallying up all the things I'm thankful for.

This year, I'm celebrating in my favorite way: a quiet, reflective day, just me and the memories that have shaped this incredible journey. And what a journey it’s been – watching my children grow in their own and tower over the world, and that is the kind of wealth only time can bring.

They say age is just a number, but let’s be honest: 72 is really just 50 with 22 extra years of wisdom, a few more stories to tell, and the confidence to enjoy life as I please.

So here’s to another year - to good health, all working original body parts, and power to let go. May this next chapter bring reasons to live with peace of mind and appreciate every single day.

Cheers to me.

Reminder:

No expectations. No explanations. No emotions. No opinions {just observable facts}. No assumptions. No self-pity (playing victim). No unsolicited advice. No gossip (that is, backbiting). No small lies. No big lies. No narcissists and negatives. Walk more than 10,000 steps every day. And limit screen time (and online discretion).

Live within these boundaries?
