Today is my birthday. Officially today I am 48 years old. Or 48 years young if you prefer to say it that way. In most cases it’s just another day. The routine will be the same as any other day.
What will be different will be my thoughts. Generally on my birthday I tend to look back upon the years behind me, the years I have survived and passed through. Sometimes I will reflect upon the different changes that came come through my life in all those years. Sometimes I will try to avoid facing the things in my past.
This year I’m not looking back. Those years were important because they shaped who I have become. But they are gone. I can’t go back and change anything in those years. I can only accept the events and move along.
My life is in a different place this year. On this birthday I am in the very middle of a hurricane of change. I’m in the very eye of the storm this year. Right now it’s hard to see what’s ahead or remember what’s behind. I’m doing all I can do to just take each day as it comes.
But I know that I am in a good place. I’ve learned the importance of self-love and self-care. That’s part of the changes in my life now. I believe these changes are all for the better. My life will grow easier and better as my life goes through these different paths.
I was a different person on this date last year. I expect to be a different person on this date next year. When I turn 49 next year I will be an even better, happier and more healthy version of me. That is my goal and expectation.
Happy Birthday to me!
