I discovered something yesterday.. my birthday!
Permalink  

I posted earlier about Dec 6th being my birthday, well it is!  Problem is, I completely missed acknowledging a year!  I'm 55, not 54!  (Dec 6th 1958) My sister says that during the first year of being separated from my ex, I was so emotionally sick, and didn't do anything that would have created any memory of what I did on that birthday, that I completely missed even having that birthday altogether.

Now, thats way sick folks... glad I am on the other side of it now.  

Glad to know how old I am... not real excited about how old I am... LOL

John

Hey, I have to do the math sometimes myself when I try to think how old I am (61).

Well, gosh, John! Then, thank you so much for all you've done for 55 years and 1 day!!!!!!!!! Considering how much happened in your life prior to this birthday, it's a wonder you made it to 54 or 55. Thank you, God, for the miracle in progress named John. (By the way, John, do you know the meaning of your name? Pretty special meaning and its borne itself out in you)

John, Ive done this. I was never 37, for some reason I skipped it and was 38 for the year I was 37 and only realised when I turned 38, so really i was 38 for 2 years. I thought I was the only one.x

My family celebrated one of my brother's birthday's on the wrong day. When he was 16, he needed his birth certificate for driver's training. He learned and we learned that although we had his age right, we didn't have his birth date right. We figured 1 out of 2 right wasn't bad. And el cee - I can see celebrating your 37th birthday twice but your 38th twice - well, the good news is you were okay with being 38 so much that you wanted to be that age twice.

John,

Wishing you a belated happy birthday.

I remember as a child hearing the older generation stating : "Youth is wasted on the young" at the time the thought didn't register yet now as I've stepped into their shoes all I can say is, "Ain't it the truth my friend?" 

Peggy
