51 Today
|
Taken on August 6, 2014 at my home in Taylorsville, UT
This is my birthday blog post, complete with another photo of me. I wished I would have taken a photo of myself every year, but there were many years skipped, mostly due to the fact that I didn’t think about this until just a few years ago. It would have been cool to have all of the photos in a folder and then just view each one in a quick slideshow fashion. People age. It happens. And to see the process with 51 photos would be a great way to reflect.
I take a good photo, at least in my humble opinion. As I get older, more lines appear. I have some face fat that I want gone. But for the most part, I feel and look younger than I am. I get guessed for mid 40’s a lot. I’ll take it for as long as it lasts.
The annual Google birthday wish
For the most part, I don’t feel 51 today. Last year, I had a big 50th birthday celebration. This year? Very low key. Not that I can’t party down again. Just want to relax this year. Yeah, yeah… older people relax a lot. We take naps, which I do enjoy when I get tired.
I have some that I know who don’t look forward to their birthday. Nothing special, no need for gifts. Just let it pass. I disagree. Wear your solar return. Make it as great of a day as you want. Accept any gifts that are given [especially bottles of my favorite spirits]. Find the positive in the day.
I know I plan to.
Happy birthday to my virtual drinking buddy from across the country!
Have a great one!
Thanks, Earl. Appreciate it. Cheers!
Happy belated! There is nothing wrong with relaxing! Or making a big deal out of your bday! I hope you had a great one! 🙂
Thanks, Kim. It was a great one this year.
I hope that positive was found. Happy belated birthday, man!
Found positive. Thank you, Kevin.
Happy (late now) birthday! You do look good and I always like photos of you because they always seem very genuine to me, which can be hard to pull off in the era of selfies.
Thank you for the kind comments, Sarah. I’m not a fan of selfies, so it’s nice that you and others appreciate the photos I do end up taking of myself.
Shitballs. See what happens when I don’t read blog posts during the week. Happy belated birthday matey. Hope you had a great day.
Thank you, sir. Much appreciated.
