Whi...Thank you for the birthday greetings, ladies! <BR/><BR/>While I'm very aware that 29 is not old (if for no other reason that my parents are 25 and 27 years older than me, and they're not old) my birthday does make me reflect on where I am, where I was, & where I'm going. <BR/><BR/>I feel that in many ways, I've been largely defined by my age (if I had a nickle for everytime someone said "God, you look so young!" or "You're so with it/ mature for your age" I'd be very rich). So as I become less young, the way I'm defined will certainly change, and obviously, I'll be changing as well.<BR/><BR/>That's not to that the way I look at myself is shaped solely by the way others see me. But I am keenly aware of the effects of perception, particularly as it relates to age, and I've been reflecting on that a lot lately.<BR/><BR/>I keep in contact with a handful of friends from high school (Thank you MySpace!) and the majority of them aren't living in the situation that I am: I can only think of one who is married with kids, and his youngest is still in elementary School, where as I just went to a middle school (aka Jr. High) Open House last night. It's very different, and while it's always what I've wanted (that is, to be happily married with kids and a job that I love) I can't help but wonder about the "Road Not Taken."<BR/><BR/>In short, the Talking Heads' "Once In a Lifetime" has been playing in MY head quite a bit:<BR/><BR/>And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack<BR/>And you may find yourself in another part of the world<BR/>And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile<BR/>And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful Wife<BR/>And you may ask yourself-well...how did I get here?Laura Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09145568170608254365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23189093.post-1160736257225839322006-10-13T06:44:00.000-04:002006-10-13T06:44:00.000-04:00Happy Birthday to my most favorite New Yorker of a...Happy Birthday to my most favorite New Yorker of all time!!
