Bring on the Wrinkles

Today was my birthday.

I turned 23 today.

I hate getting older.

Did you know,

I actually cried when I turned 20?

Yup.

Because I was halfway to 40.

True story.

So I'm not big on birthdays.

But today, as I was sitting in church thinking about how I'm now 23,

I remembered a quote I had heard a long time ago:

"Never complain about growing old, for many are denied that privilege."

So, moral of the story I learned today?

I am grateful for life.

For this amazing, wonderful, blessed, full and healthy life I have.

I am grateful to have lived another healthy wonderful year.
And I hope there's many more years of growing old to come.

Thank you all for the love shared with me on my birthday.
