As of 8:34 this morning I will be 55 years old…Sigh.

I’m determined to do my best to keep my sense of humor and age gracefully (if that’s possible), instead of getting depressed and cranky. I have to admit though I can definitely relate to these:

As I’m turning 52 on Friday, I thought a birthday-themed WW would be appropriate. Here’s a few gems I found online that snapped me out of my depression:

Birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that the people who have the most, live the longest.

Birthdays are nature’s way of telling us to eat more cake.

It’s never too late to be what you want to be…Unless you want to be younger, then you’re screwed.

Happy Birthday Stephen King!

Birthdays, Literary Quotes, Stephen King

Amazingly Stephen King is 69 years young today! There are many writers who have earned the title “Master of Horror”, but since his first book, Carrie, which he wrote when he was twenty-six, and after more than forty years of writing there is only one “King”!

Yikes! I turned 51 today, but I don’t feel like it. Okay, maybe physically I feel like I’ve passed the half century mark, but inside I still am definitely in touch with my inner child. In keeping with that I found this lovely quote and gifs to go with it:

Don’t get all weird about getting older! Our age is merely the number of years the world has been enjoying us!

~ Uknown ~

I know y’all are probably rolling your eyes ’cause these are all Supernatural gifs, but honestly! What better time to enjoy my favorite beefcake (yes I said that!) than on my birthday!

Happy Birthday Harry & Jo!
