Today is ‘the’ day of the year where one day is making me a whole year older…aahhh it’s my Birthdayayayay! 🙂
I am turning 43 and it seems to be an ‘in-between’ year; last year at 42 I was the answer to The Utimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything and I will apparently become The Master Healer at 44, next year wowWoW! 🙂
Oh well, age is mostly just a number as ‘they’ say (indeed an expression that is used by ‘older’ people 🙂 ), so I’d rather enjoy every minute of Now! 😛
