The Day It All Started

So, exactly 25 years ago, on a day like no other, at a time like this time, the whole story started.
The story, I like to call my glorious life.

Yep, that’s right, today’s my 25th birthday.
And well, as usual, instead of thinking of partying like crazy or doing some mad thing, I’m thinking about the past 25 years of my life, what I’ve accomplished in them and what I have to show for it all.
I’m also thinking about the future and what it holds for me, or more precisely what I can make it hold for me.

I never really was a birthday party guy. Not that I’m some party-pooper or something, but I just think I’ve grown out of the stage of having birthday parties.
Of course that pisses my wife off because she’s been wanting to throw me a birthday party for years now, with me screwing up her plans every single time ๐Ÿ˜›
Anyway, I’d just rather spend a day like my birthday with my wife and family, that’s where my joy is.

I don’t feel older really, now that another year has been added to my history, I just feel exactly like I did last year or the year before.
But when I look at it and think, 25 years is a quarter of a century, well that puts things into a different perspective and it makes me think: how much time do I have left ?
Ok, I know those aren’t thoughts a person should be thinking on his birthday, but well, it was just a passing thought.

My plans for today ?
Well, I’m at work for now. Will be going out for a good lunch with my wife.
Then I’ll be back for more work. After that I’ll be going home to share my birthday with my wife and family.
Sounds great to me ๐Ÿ™‚
If only I took today off and slept more in the morning, It’d be perfect ๐Ÿ˜›

My resolutions are the same ones I took for new years, simply because I didn’t get to implement those yet, lol.

So, to end this post, I’ll just wish myself a great and happy birthday, and may all my wishes come true ๐Ÿ˜‰
