Birthday #?

Today is that wonderful day of the year that I examine my body for more signs of aging. Hmmm. Yes. My hands are more wrinkled and I have little crows feet around my eyes, but it really doesn't matter. These things show that I might have gained more wisdom this past year. And, yes I didn't kill anyone through their teenage years (referring to Cherie's blog) and I surely won't ever do that because my children have flown the coop. I was reading a note by my friend Lisa today and she was talking about how mean her daughter was to her. It brought back memories but I forgive you Cherie...I hope that someday you will forgive me for my mistakes. Birthdays bring about a lot of reflection sometimes about how much you have learned in life, for instance yesterday Cherie said that Lily was walking all over. I am still walking all over too. It was many years ago that I took my first step. I have taken many steps in between those firsts and now. I hope to take many more steps. Boy, this is getting to be a little weird. I think it comes from trying to say something about my birthday when I can't really think of anything to say other than yep, I'm one year older.
