Good morning! Today is my 35th Birthday.🍰 Three weeks to Presidents Day. Partly sunny and 28 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a north breeze at 7 mph.

Only 50 days remain until the first day of calendar spring!

Today is a very pleasant morning, almost spring like with all the sun and lack of snow.🌞 And fairly mild for January for sure. I didn’t sleep well last night for many reasons, being a bit uncomfortable about turning 35, and because I had a mistake on my clock that kept it flashing all night long when it should have gone into a deep sleep by 11. I do need to get some coffee so I may run up to Market 32 during lunch. Not a bad walk from work. ☕

While only God really knows,  today marks the second half of my life. 🎂I’m hoping to make it the best chapter, the most interesting, learn a lot, explore a lot, recognizing that time is limited and precious. ⌛As they say at work, you can always get more money but you can’t ever get more time. ⏰Time is non-negotiable and every five years older you get, it seems to happen in half of the time. Years almost become a blur.
