Today is my 60th birthday. This is NOT a bid for birthday wishes. I just wanted to reflect my own thoughts and feelings about the day.
All year I've been thinking I should do something special to mark today. 60 seemed so significant. But the more I thought about it, the more I didn't want to do anything extraordinary. That's not depression or anything negative talking. It just doesn't seem like that big a deal to me now that it's here.
I'm going to treat myeself to a steak on the grill and a trip to my Mom's house so I can swim in the pool, but I'm just not excited about doing anything extra special.
Wjhen I was younger I would think older relatives who said birthdays were no big thing were being poops. Now I know what they mean. It doesn't feel like that big a deal. Don't get me wrong. I love people wishing me happy birthday. I like getting presents, but it's not a big deal.
