I've been told that "youth" is all in the mind. I know I've been riding this planet long enough to make it around the Sun 35 times. From time to time, I have even lost count.
But, I laughed so much at my birthday celebration made possible by the hard work of Renu and the generosity of dozens of friends. I hadn't been to a rollerskaing rink for over two decades and I must admit, I felt just a little bit uncomfortable skating around the rink during the "birthday skate" with 6 other lucky individuals, all 10-years-old or younger. But my friends laughed and so did I.
This theme continued on through the night. There was laughter from all corners of my home. At one point, Matt was making his delicious guacamole which, with Edison's help, quickly became a first grade art project. Edison did manage to keep all 10 digits attached and there were no "surprises" found in the guacamole!
I've got a little bit of a headache today, likely from the slightly over-enthusiastic consumption of "adult" beverages. But, I have a little bit more of a spring in my step from the energy carried over from yesterday. And, I have a feeling that this energy will make my next trip around the Sun a bit more enriching. Perhaps even some of these white hairs will revert to their former shades.
