Tomorrow is my birthday. Not a "significant" birthday -- that will come next year, Lord willing.
I remember the anticipation and excitement I used to feel as my birthday approached. The zenith of positive birthday fever was probably reached sometime in junior high or high school. Since then, it's been a steady decline to the.inevitable nadir that lurks ahead.
I haven't totally given up hope for a resurgence of happy feelings. Maybe if I live long enough to qualify as a senior citizen and experience my second childhood (without the unpleasant memory loss issues) I may recover the joy of marking the passage of another year.
Maybe.
