Birthdays are fun. They're supposed to be. But as we get older, the fun gets to be more of a strain.

Tomorrow is the Husband's birthday, and he'll be ... old.

But he's not complaining. About his age, anyway. But the aches and pains that he has accrued over his many years do not pass by silently.

Originally he planned to retire in two years, 'cause that's when he's supposed to, according to actuarial tables. But now he's talking about continuing to work. He works from home and likes what he does, so why not? A positive approach to advancing age.

So aches n' pains not withstanding, birthdays are, after all, just a number. Continue to enjoy yours like you used to.
