Thirty-ish

"Is this a milestone birthday?" I asked my co-worker this morning.

"Naw. Just another notch in the long, slow grind of the thirties," he replied.

Thanks for the chuckle, R.

26? That's so far in the past I can't even see its dust.

My eyes are going. My back hurts when I get up in the morning. Any kind of injury sticks with me for weeks or months. What is left of my hair is grey. I can't eat what I want.

Still, I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life. Comfortable in my own somewhat wrinkled skin.

Dean. I hear you. While I'm somewhat angry that my body is share its opinion ofhow I treat it, I'm the happiest and most confident I've ever been. Too bad I couldn't have been like this when I had the body to match.

If we knew then what we know now...

I keep thinking about what age truly means. We assign numbers to ourselves based on someone's understanding of our planet's path around our sun. It's all so arbitrary that I find it difficult to fathom why we place so much importance on it in the first place.

I likely shouldn't be writing this now. The cold, damp air on my morning bike ride made my joints ache and put me in a cranky mood.
