Today is my birthday and I'm not ashamed to say I'm 44. (44 in 11, kinda funny.) I'm proud to be another year older.
I have the wrinkles and grey hair to prove the experiences of the time I've walked this earth. But I want more. I want more laugh lines, hard-won strands of silver, and even the inevitable aches and pains that accompany old age. Bring it on. I want to grow old with Michael by my side.
But there's no guarantee, so I rejoice in this year. I thank God I made it to 44. I'm rich with experience, friendships and love. That's what matters.
So as I blow out the candles on my rich, chocolately birthday cake this evening, my wish will be for another birthday next year.

Happy Birthday and many happy returns of the day. May 2011 and the many years ahead hold great promise and a realization of every dream.
