There's a point in everyone's life when they realize birthdays have become a little less exciting. Your 25 presents you used to get turn to single digits, you realize you are seriously getting older and it becomes a regular day where, if you a responsible adult, you still have to go to work.
It may sound sad, but one of the things I have grown accustomed to is seeing who tells me happy birthday on Facebook. I get a little smile usually, thinking of how I met the person who goes out of their way to say it. It also reminds me of all the old friends I have from various stages of life.
I think the most amazing thing is to see the diversity of people I have come in contact with over the last 27 years. This year (and the day is not yet over) I have had birthday wishes from so many people, I lost count. People wishing me the best ranged from my childhood piano teacher to newspaper reporters. I even had a happy birthday from an elementary school principal, a college theater professor and my previous land lord.
It's amazing to see the friends I have accumulated so far. It's an amazing world of technology that keeps us all connected, even if in the smallest of ways.
Thanks for the birthday wishes and here's to over 27 more!
