I Really Don’t Know Life At All

So tomorrow is the big day, my 62nd. Just in case anyone was wondering, I’m not at my goal weight. Nor have I received an Oscar (though I continue to update my speech). I know I’m supposed to be grateful for all the things I have in my life, but I’m not. I want more bites of the apple. I want unspeakable highs. I want the years I lost to depression. I want a wake up call. I want to tell one person what I really think. I want to push myself twice as hard. I want everyone I love to shine.

Make a wish.

   Happy Birthday, Betsy!

   I wish . . . , and I wish I could have that cupcake. Except – the last time I tasted a Hostess cupcake, either my taste buds had changed or, they altered the recipe – like Coca-Cola did with “New Coke.” Blech.

   And climb on every rung
   May you stay
   Forever young.”
