09/09/09

Ok, so I am getting really excited. My birthday is coming up fast, and guess what? 09/09/09!!! I am so very excited. I mean, this is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Who gets to lay claim to such a date? I know a few friends who will be sharing this day as well, of various ages. I personally have no shame in announcing that I will be 24 on that day. Getting old? Not yet. I am the youngest of most of my friends that I hang out with on a regular basis, so I still feel young. Many would argue that I AM young. But I'm more excited for my birthday this year than I have been in a long time. Unfortunately I've been feeling down my past 2 birthdays, and my doctor finally diagnosed me with having S.A.D., also known as Seasonal Affective Disorder. Now that I know there's a reason for my sudden mood changes, I can go about trying to keep myself from getting so low. Which gives me hope that this birthday, and the ones to come, have a silver lining. Maybe that's one of the reasons I feel like celebrating.

Do I know what I'm going to do that day? I have plans to watch the new Tim Burton movie, "9" which I believe is coming out that day. Looking forward to that for sure. I hope to see some friends on my actual birthday, and the rest I hope to see on the Saturday afterwards, to really celebrate with more people.

I thank God that I've had 23 11/12's years on this wonderful earth, and I pray that I will live many more.
