Anniversaries and Birthdays

Soren Kierkegaard said, "Life must be lived forward, but can only be understood backward."

I love people who look for reasons to laugh, to smile often and to celebrate! That's one way to understand life... looking backward at events we commemorate, and celebrate. Anniversaries and birthdays are like that. We can have 'anniversaries' in any increment (right Salça?), and celebrating them makes us feel special. So, why not birthdays??

Our daughter, Leah, is 10,000 DAYS old today. Right about now, actually.

Not long ago, she read on another blog site that your 10,000th day of life falls about 1/3 through your 27th year. And... so we have another opportunity to celebrate. We gave her presents... she smiled, we laughed! Her friends are taking her to dinner!

And her sisters, too, are calculating THEIR 10,000th day. Too late for me, tho', and I don't think I'd even want to admit to being 20,000 days old... when that day comes, ...uhhh came...
