No really....it IS my birthday :-D. It is also the Grenadian Independence day. Al my Caribbean people: *Lighters in the air* So what am I doing to celebrate? A whole lotta nothing.
I am 25 today--- a quarter of a century. I am blessed to have made it this far in relatively good health. It's amazing to think that 25 years ago on this day I was just a little brown blob with a tuft of hair on top. I couldn't do much more than drink, sleep, poop and cry. My biggest source of anguish was the fact that I could not roll over or sit up on my own.
Today, I'm a big brown blob with hair down to my shoulders. I write laws for water quality; I've graduated from law school; I drive a car; I hang out with friends. Oh yes...and I still drink, sleep, poop and cry...although not necessarily in that order. My biggest source of anguish...woo, where do I begin?!
I wonder where I will be at the next quarter-century mark. Will I still be alive? Will I be single (ergo in a convent)? What impact (if any) will I have made on society? Is there anything that I will regret not doing over these next 25 years? My friends who are older than me always tell me that I'm so young...."still a baby". So why do I feel like time is slipping away and I'm not doing enough? Not LIVING enough?
*Cue the violins and sappy music*
Be that as it may....today is still my birthday. So while I ponder these questions, please send your gifts and donations to "Professional Panhandler" c/o blogger.com. ;-) Just Kidding. I would like to use my birthday wish (I still get one, right?) to wish that something good happens to everyone today. :-).
