37 Is Just A Number (Happy Birthday To Me)
Yesterday, I was chatting with Kerri and she asked me how I was doing.
I said I was depressed because my birthday was tomorrow and turning 37 is just that much closer to old age and death. I told her I'm almost 80 now. Old age comes up fast.
Kerri said:
I don't know....once you stop having birthdays, you're dead.
I told her that was so profound.
And then she told me she almost spit out her coffee.
And I laughed.
Today is my birthday and it's a good day. I'm happy.
P.S. There will be six more weeks of Winter.

Oh, Shannon-- 37 is still so very young.
And listen-- a while back, I was told that "40 is the new 30"
So you're really only 27!
Hope you have a wonderful Birthday. :-)

Happy birthday Shannon! I have to say that the 40's are not too bad either. I say mind over matter is a big part of it.

Happy Birthday my friend :) Wish I was there to toast you on your 37th year, but I'm not - so I'll do it from home :)
Hope you had a fantastic day and here's to a terrific 37th year!

Happy Birthday!
Sorry to be a little late to the game!
If 37 is the new 27 - then is 27 the new 17, because those are some years I would prefer NOT to relive.

Wow!! Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone :D
I'm sinking into 37 now, so I feel much better about it, LOL.
