Two blogs in two days? Must be a record or something!

Shhhhh.

Today is my birthday. I’m that guy who really would prefer to be in the background of most things. I don’t have that “look at me” personality that some do, nor do I crave that attention, which makes birthdays hard for me.

Yes, I enjoy celebrating it, but low-key celebrate. A little bit of cake, a present or two, but otherwise, if the rest of the world did not know, I would be quite ok. However, that never, ever seems to happen. I can’t be too upset because people enjoy it so it’s all good. Just sometimes wish I could curl up with a book and Diet Coke on my birthday. That never seems to happen! 🙂

On Saturday, my brother gave me the pretty cool gift of The Empire Strikes Back movie played on the big screen with the soundtrack played by a local orchestra. It was so very awesome because you get used to the soundtrack playing in the background. However, with the rich sound of an orchestra playing right in front of you, sometimes, I just stopped watching the movie to watch the musicians!

Both he and my wife are some of the more thoughtful people I’ve ever come across. They both think about others so much and I’m grateful to have them both in my life. I wish I had that gene in my own system. 🙂

For my birthday, I’ll go home and mow the backside of our property. It’s been raining so much over the last few days that we’ve not been able to mow. Today is the one day this week where rain is not in the forecast. My wife has to stay after for an early elementary concert, so it gives me time to get a couple of things done. Nothing huge, just time.

Thanks for reading this far. I’ve lost confidence in my writing (heck, just in general), losing a streak of 200+ visitors per month that I’ve had for years because I’m simply not putting words on the page.

All streaks are meant to be broken, so we’ll see where we go.

Enjoy your day and try to be that person who people who helps people believe in the goodness of others! ❤
