Today is my 40th birthday and I’m probably one of the few people who could care less about that number. I have friends who freak out if you even mention that they are getting older by a minute let alone a year.

I on the other hand look forward to getting older as I believe that we all get better with age. With each passing year I think I am becoming a more complete person and I find that incredibly exciting.

There are no bucket lists for me. Sure there are things I’d like to do and places I’d like to go but there is no timetable and if I accomplish those things great. If not, no biggie because there is a good chance that something just as fulfilling happened in its place.

I’ve got some fun things planned for the upcoming year that includes more running (still undecided about the marathon), more trips to the opera, and more merriment in general. Let’s have fun with this new decade!
