I am turning 30.
30
3......0......
Thirty.
Anyway you look at it seems odd.
Birthdays have a way of sneaking up on you sometimes.
Before you know it another year has gone and boom, you're looking at the calendar scratching your head wondering where the time went, while a small sob escapes your lips, not because it is your birthday again and you are turning 30, but because you honestly cannot remember what was said in a conversation from 5 minutes ago and it makes you wonder if the reason you cannot remember is because you are turning another year older, while that calendar with your birthday stares right back at you, taunting you with a number.
Sorry.
Got a little carried away.
It amazes me to think about all the history that I have been around for. All the technological changes, advances in medicine, and world events that have happened during my 30 years of life.
When I think about what I have done, I think I can say that I am proud of what I have accomplished so far. Some of the results may not have been what I had originally intended to achieve, things turning out different than you thought is most often the way that life works. Everything seems to have turned out good so far, so I must be getting something right.
I have the added luxury of sharing my birth date with 2 close relatives. My Sister Jenn and my Uncle Doug. For the last several years Uncle Doug and I have met up with a few other family members for our birthday at a local restaurant that gives us free desert. Some years the party was large and others just a few of us, but we always enjoyed great food, wonderful company, sent our free dessert around the table for everyone to sample. Jenn always has a German Chocolate cake for her birthday. I like cake in general. I am usually good with whatever......I'm very partial to chocolate, but who isn't right!
This year we are having a party. I told Peter that I wanted to do something. It did not have to be a surprise like his birthday but I wanted something. So we are planning a get together at a local bar, B.Y.O. food and beverages and we will bring a cake for anyone who shows up. It will be fun because the people I love will be there and that is all that matters.

It's just a number.
