how i celebrate

today is my birthday

kind of a big one

but not a milestone

if i live a nice long healthy life

today, 

is the day i hit

mid-life

not too long ago

i heard someone say

mid-life is not for a crisis

but for

readjustment

i like the idea

look back

see what worked well

what didn't

and  

maneuver the next half of my life

applying what i've learned

this year in celebration

hubster and i slipped away

we are spending a few days

on a sheep farm

lambing

is in full swing

today

the bleat of new babies

is the only song

i wish to hear

newly born

hubster with his new bff
