So I guess you can call me grown now.
At this point there's about an hour and a half left before my birthday is over. As expected it went along pretty uneventfully. I went to work and went to church as I do every Wed. I did get a lot of birthday wishes and a lot of hugs. And about 60 messages from people between facebook and myspace. So that was cool enough. Friday will be the real birthday as far as I'm concerned, it' the day tat I'm actually celebrating with friends and that's what it's really all about to me.
I guess my unorthodox view of my birthday comes from the date on which I was born. Growing up I could never really celebrate my birthday on my birthday. All of my friends are always out of town because of the 4th and they rarely come back until late on the 5th. So I always celebrate my birthday on an adjacent weekend. So I don't neccesarily take joy in the date of my birth, but the ability to celebrate life and those which I have been blessed enough to come into close fellowship. I guess that's really enough of a birthday present; not that I'm not looking forward to other tangible gifts. LOL
