In just a few short hours I will be officially 35 years old. I am not typically one to embrace turning another year older. This year is different, I am trully pretty happy to celebrate 35 years on the planet. I feel at peace and happy with it, maybe even rejuvinated.

I can't say life has hit some magical moment where all is so good that I just cna't help but be happy about my birthday, cause my life is far from magical. I seem to have more than my share of crappy days, crabby days, shitty days, WTF moments and how the hell do I fix this moments. Sometimes it feels like those outnumber the happy, peaceful, calm and carefree days and moments but I do enjoy my life for the most part. I'd love to be in a lot better health than I am at 35 but I'm not, I can't really change my health so I'm trying hard to accept it and the limitations it puts on my life.

I'm big into trying to accept and make the best of things lately, maybe that is why I am happily embracing 35. You can't realistically fight or ignore age so might as well get happy about it and find the good things in it.

I threw myself a nice party just last night and I was so happy to see everyone who came. It wasn't a party that will go down in the top ten of greatest parties but it was good anyway. People had fun, food, lots of drinking and a big fire. Someday I will throw one of those top ten best parties ever. Those kinds of parties where someone ends up dancing half naked (or all the way), or you end up shooting fireworks at each other, or you end up outside singing so loudly and badly the neighbors threaten make you shut up. I did those kind of parties when I was younger and I will again someday, I think LOL. I may be aging but my mind and spirit are definately not getting old!!!!

So here's to a great 35 years on the planet. I'm hoping to have at least another 35 years.
