Perhaps birthday celebrations
Should be reserved
For children and seniors.The former can’t wait
To get older,
While the latter
Are genuinely grateful
To still be around.Everyone in-between
Simply
Mourns the passing
Of another year
Of their youth.Lens-Artists: Celebrating

Not all mourn the day… since I was given the cancer diagnosis 18 years ago I am grateful for ever year past the diagnosis day. … besides just give me a cake and see if I don’t tear into it with the same zest and hunger of a kid. LOL!

You could be right, Sandy, but I’ve always loved my birthday and could celebrate it the whole month and often have. 🙂 That was when everything tiny I put into my mouth didn’t add a pound when I stepped on the scales. 🙂

Hmmm….have never really thought about it that way Sandy but I think you’re onto something! I guess that means I haven’t QUITE reached “senior” status yet – although my drive’s’ license says differently LOL.
