Today is my 61st birthday. I made it through 60, which was not as traumatic as I thought it would be. I had moments where I felt like I aged overnight (and apparently, we go through an ‘aging spurt’ at age 60). Most of the time, though, I thought “Oh, yeah. I don’t have to worry about that anymore. I’m old.”
I plan to spend this birthday quietly. Going to work, checking Facebook for birthday wishes, going out to dinner at a steakhouse. My birthday present is a mug that says “Coffee? What about second coffee?” a la ‘second breakfast’ in Lord of the Rings.
I am hoping for a good day, as I always request from the universe: “… a good day, a productive day, a day where I do what You want me to.”

So many people I know [of] have their birthday in September. I do too!
Being so much younger than others makes me wonder what my life will be like on my 61st birthday. Hope you enjoy this day!

Thank you! Being older is … different. You don’t worry nearly so much because you’ve survived everything so far.
