Birthdays are hard as a grown up. The joy has gone out of growing older. I’ve got wrinkles and body aches and a job and a mortgage and a car payment and everyone tells you when you’re a kid that it isn’t better to be an adult but you don’t believe it until it happens.
What I can say though is that global warming really did me a solid this year. For a week the weather has been mild and sunny.
I hiked with the dogs.
I went climbing.
I breathed so much fresh air.
I got a little older.
