Last month, one of my best girlfriends celebrated a landmark birthday. I won’t say which one (You’re welcome, Cindy!) but suffice it to say that diva was absolutely losin’ her mind over the whole aging thing! We ended up having to keep her knee deep in Long Islands just to keep her calm enough to open her gifts. And it really got me thinking…

Some now-dead white guy once said, “Another year older, another year wiser,” but we all know there comes a birthday where it’s just another year older, another year older and there’s not a single thing we can do about it. Sure, with age comes maturity and wisdom and the wonderful years of experience and knowledge, but wisdom ain’t all it’s cracked up to be when your butt’s flat and the twins are making friends with your knees.

Plus it’s a perfect excuse to go shopping. You should see the new shoes I am staring at. They are gorgeous.. It’s not my birthday but, like I told Cindy as she hyperventilated into a gift bag, it’s your birthday! And no matter how old you get, it is still a day of celebration dedicated to you.

Why on Earth are we all so afraid of that?
