This is not where I thought I would be today. On my last birthday I didn't think I would still be unemployed a year later. Of course, there was a point in time when I didn't think I'd live to see 40, let alone 52. So I am definitely ahead of the game.
This evening was the first of four celebrations--a quiet dinner with a good friend. Sunday I'll gather with a group of friends to celebrate two of our birthdays. The following weekend another gathering of friends for my birthday will not also be for Christmas, Hanukkah, and the Solstice. And I look forward to a quiet dinner with family.
I have been, and continue to be, incredibly blessed by my friends and family. With them, I face my 53rd year with hope and confidence.
Happy Birthday, Jeff, and a Happy New Year.
