Big deal

Happy Birthday to me.
Big deal…. I figure that most birthdays really don’t mean much after age 12. For me, they’ve become reminders that I’m not the kid I used to be. Dang.
Well, maybe the noteworthy milestones are worth celebrating: 16, 18, 21, 100. Maybe 30, maybe 40 and 65.
Me? 41. Big deal. It’s been just another day here for me – chores that need doing, some work to catch up on. I do love hearing from the family, though – that’s always good… especially the niece and nephew singing their highly-modified quasi-operatic version of “Happy Birthday to you.”
I guess birthdays aren’t so bad, after all. Not after that song.
