It's just not the same

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.
