Happy Birthday to me.  Today is my birthday…and I’m going to celebrate. Maybe not in the traditional ways…although I’m hoping there is cake later on today.

My idea of a good birthday these days is freedom. Freedom from the responsibilities of my every day life…like making dinner, having to do dishes, picking up the kids from the bus stop. I want a day when I can just be a blob and do whatever strikes my fancy without guilt.

What I find interesting is that the older I get, the less I pay attention to the number. It really doesn’t matter to me anymore. I am whatever age I feel, which I find rather cool. I sort of stopped ‘aging’ in my head around 30. I suppose, eventually, that age in my head will shift.

The great thing about getting older is that I care less what people think about me and more about what *I* think of me. Very freeing.
