I am always dismayed by those that want to hide how many years they've been alive on this planet.
So many people fight hard for their lives and lose them far too young.
Why are people embarrassed to age? Isn't that embarrassment an insult to those who fight for their lives and lose the battle?
Every day on this planet is a blessing - I've been blessed now with 18,615 days on this planet.
What I would like for my 51st Birthday is for ALL my friends and family to revel in the blessing that is the ability to age, rather than see it as a weakness.
Could you all do that for me? Even for one day? That would be the best birthday present ever.
Youthfullness is a gorgeous part of life, but it isn't the only gorgeous part of life - aging is gorgeous too, because with it comes wisdom, memories and friendships that span more time.
DON'T - regret aging - love the fact that you are still here when there are many who didn't make it as far as you have.
