As I've turned over 55, I find that celebrating birthdays is less of a thing than it used to be; I'm well over half my age at this point (and the breadth of that span seems to be shortening as well).
I have done and gotten most everything I wanted out of life. It seems difficult to imagine just hanging on til the end comes.
I love my girls. I love my friends. Yet every passing year I hear from fewer of them, and see my girls less and less.
I have always fell into observing; knowing what was happening, how people were, what the territory contained; these have always been essential to my sense of survival. It generally evolved into real interest. However, I feel less of that sustaining me these days.
I am glad you've begun another spin around the sun. There is no magic to it except what we ourselves create. Enjoy it. Enjoy Christine (as I know you do!) and keep taking pictures. I love them all.
