In celebration of my 53rd Birthday, here is my
bracha (blessing) for those of my vintage...or really any vintage. May you:
- Embrace the awesomeness of being your particular age, with everything that comes with it.
- Pause to acknowledge that you have been on this planet for a significant period of time, maybe not along the continuum of history but along the timeline of other people's lives
- Take chances.
- Allow yourself to feel truly wise every once in a while.
- Not be afraid of hard work. Nothing of value is achieved easily.
- Agitate for positive change.
- Live with your eyes, mind, arms and heart wide open.
- Believe in the power of fun.
- Opt for joy.
- Make peace when you can and with whom you can.
- Be smart enough to live according to solid values.
- Give up silly or shallow pursuits.
- Don't waste your energies on fruitless endeavors.
- Read all the books you wish you had read.
- See all the films you wish you had seen.
- Travel as you can afford to.
- Dance.
- Sing.
- Celebrate.
- Snuggle.
- Explore.
- Party on!
