It’s my birthday. Do I feel older? Nope. What should older feel like? I do feel older in general in that I know my mind says my body used to be able to move and do things that it no longer can: Mainly because I am a couch potato, but still, it is a mental fitness now: a reminder that I am getting older.
My priorities have changed as I have gotten older. My main focus is staying alive as long as I can to watch my children grow up and live their lives. I don’t want to be a burden, just as instrumental and memorable as my Papaw, Granny and Mother were to me.
So far my birthday has been great. Other than a small hiccup with my spun honey this morning for breakfast in that it was not spun but hard as my dream said it would be, it has been great. Relaxing with my wife and daughter, had a little walk with her too where she took her pretend pictures and then had grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch before she took her nap.
If you have read any previous entries I probably look like a flake that starts stuff and doesn’t finish: From this little bit of information you would be correct. However, I cherish my relaxation time and this takes precedence over the little things I do to occupy my mind. With my job my mind is occupied quite a bit and sometimes it takes a long vegetation to clear it enough for sleep. As I said before I am old.
Recently however, I have begun sketching again. I used to draw all the time, play guitar, all kinds of stuff. I barely read or do a crossword now. Anyway, I have a lot of things I need to do again I used to do and one of them is getting rid of the belly and trying to get my creativity back.
So happy birthday to me! I miss you momma and thank you honey for always thinking of me. I love you.
Happy Happy Birthday, Smooch. We love you so.
