Just celebrated another birthday. Year 2012 moved on so quickly to 2013, zooming right past GO, but I didn't collect my 200 dollars! You know, it may be trite, but true...the days DO go faster with each passing year. All the more reason to appreciate every moment and breath you take.
I still feel the same on the inside, but the outside is definitely showing a little more "wear and tear"...maybe you know what I mean?!? In fact, the real gauge of time quickly marching on are my "kids" and my nieces and nephews. When we have a big family get together and realize all of these sitting around are my mother's grandchildren ....that's when I feel old! It seems like just yesterday they were all being born. Now they are are old enough to buy me a beer...oy!
The hubby was full of surprises all week leading up to my special day...thank you honey! Its not about gifts (though it is important for spouses/significant others to make sure if you give a present, it is very thoughtful and special and ONLY for the birthday person...never something for the house or family use unless specifically requested...¿Entiendo?) My only request on my birthday (and Mother's Day, too) is that I do not cook or clean the house. That's my rule and I'm sticking to it. Gifts and cards are great, but a call or even text, is what I like best. I think the older the hubby and I get, the less we want, and don't need, so the simple things like a phone call mean a lot to us...it really is the "thought that counts."
