20th November 2023
I’ve never been keen on birthdays, well once the big presents that you got from your parents stopped. They became a stick in the ground, marking another chunk of time. I try not to think of the number, I guess I don’t want it to signify anything. I have come to believe that how I feel is more important, and that the age part is just a countdown to the inevitable.
I need to put that off, I have far more important things still to do.
I got birthday wishes for my friends and family, that warms me a lot because I treasure them.
They are my jewels, each one relates to a point in time that has meant much to me.
Kelli likes to make a fuss and usually buys me a gift that is special, these are things that I will own for ever.
So it is a day of reflection, did I have a good year? have I learnt something new? The answer is always yes. I have my childlike excitement when I buy a new tool or equipment, where I can’t wait to get it out of the box and working.
I still enjoy music, although some new stuff confuse me. I do come from a time where longevity marked a level of success, and I am aware that there is so much temporary things about, I certainly am grateful for growing up in the era I did.
