By the way, I am 43. sob sob

I was bummed on my birthday this year, too. I had just gone through a breakup, and the last thing I wanted to do was celebrate. Here's what I did: I spent time with just a few close friends who care about me. We went out for dinner, watched a funny movie, and talked. Later, when I was by myself, I thought about the fun I'd had and the things I'd accomplished in the previous year. And finally, I wrote down a few goals and things to look forward to this year. Having one bad year, season in life, or birthday doesn't spell doom. Things will look up. Hang in there. And if this birthday isn't the best, it only means that down the road there will be ones that are better.
