Perhaps that is an odd title for a birthday post, but I hope
that, by the end of all of this, you will understand why I chose it.
Birthdays are a special time in people’s lives. It’s a date that signifies you have lived and
survived through the scribblings of life.
Birthdays bring the wonderful satisfaction of another chapter finished,
a new one beginning. They give you the
opportunity of reading back over the pages written and determining where you
want to take your story. When you read
back over the ink blots and flourishes, you find tales woven of accomplishments
won, trials endured, people encountered, emotions felt, and all of this
combined gives you a sense of the story that is being crafted.
