That Birthday Feeling

Just as another year goes by, so does another birthday. I used to consider this to be one of the most exciting times of the year. Over the years, it has now become somewhat depressing to say the least. We only get older with each passing year, and while there is nothing we can do about that, we can live it up to the fullest extent. I turned twenty-five years old a couple days ago. That is kind of hard to imagine. Many of you would argue that that is hardly an age to fret about, but just the idea that I’m getting older every year, sends a whirlwind of emotions through me. It seemed like just yesterday, that I was living the carefree days of a child. However, I won’t get on my soapbox about that any longer, but I will say that I cannot think of a year that’s gone by when I haven’t relished in the festivities of my birthday. My family and friends are always so gracious in wishing me a ‘Happy Birthday’, that I should be so grateful. The parties and celebrations are always a reminder of how much the loved ones in my life care about me. It is such a wonderful feeling to feel so loved! Thanks to everyone for making me feel so special on my birthday!
