(15,569 posts)Just think about all those who haven't made it this far and be extremely grateful that you did.
Make this day or maybe the entire week pleasant for yourself. Do all the little things you truly enjoy. Sit in the quiet with a cup of coffee/tea and a good book. Look out the window and appreciate nature. Go for a nice walk somewhere if it's not awful weather.
Oh, and Happy Birthday!

Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)Look, I have a client who is 72 and he can run rings around me. He has successfully owned and operated two restaurants for the last 25 years. He's actively involved in a Greek heritage organization (he's the VP). He also is a property manager for local homes.
I also do promos on Twitter for a well-known celebrity who has a SiriusXM show, whose acting career still thrives, and last year he assembled a new band. He's 71 and he's relentless.
It's nothin' but a number. Here's to many more vibrant and exciting years.
