Happy 57th Birthday!

April 5

Today is my 57th Birthday.

Wow just saying that makes me feel some kind of way. It’s just a number that I never thought about seeing really. It’s kind of an odd number to me and that may be why I just haven’t felt the same this year as in birthday’s past. I don’t know.
