Happy Birthday

It is hard to believe that this blog is now 4 years old. It just keepsmgetting older and older every day. Ironically the person the blog is for, you my love, doesn't seem to be aging the same way. So while today is your "Happy Birthday", I guess we aren't really celebrating you getting older, but rather just you being you.

I say this because you just never seem old to me. After all of these years, you still have that youthful aura about you. You still seem younger than you actually are in years. You still look younger than you actuallyare in years. You obviously have a hold of some kind of magic potion.

I can see it in your eyes. They still sparkle. They still have that shien that they did when I first met you. Rather than getting old and steely through the yeras, they have a youthful glow to them. They are bright and open tomthe world. They clearly haven't aged, they have just become better.

You can tell you are young from your smile. It isn't "put on" and fake. It is real and joyful. It has an exuberance only seen in children. It lures people in with a curious need to be a part of your fun approach to life. Like a young child who always seems to have people drawn to them, you smile put you at the center of attention. It is young and vibrant. It hasn't aged, it has just become better through the years.

You still approach life with your "kind of silly, kind of me" attitude. A very youthful and fun way to live your life. The very reason that you are sp popular with our kids friends. People are drawn to your fun style. They love to be a part of the way you behave about things. It is hardly immature, but rarely mature. It is a polished method of being young, while still having the wisdom of adulthood. You are fun to be around at any given time. You are entertaining all the time. You bring smiles to anyone who crosses your path. You may have aged on the calendar, but in reality you remain as exuberant as you were as child.

So I guess we have to celebrate your birthday, but not because you are getting older. We can celebrate it in the truest form of the phrase. We will celebrate your "birth", because after 42 years you have remained young and vibrant. In the best form of the phrase, "you haven't gotten older, you have just become better". Lucky for me, I get to be with you every day. Birthday or no birthday, I celebrate you every day.

Happy Birthday my love.

You're the world to me. I love you more than anything in the world.
