When you get older you tend to be more regretful that another year has passed and not much has changed. <br /><br />The most passionate people I encounter are ones who are pushing forward to a greater goal. Older people tend to talk about the way things "used to be". Generally, they aren't very passionate. However, people that have a direct goal or purpose tend to look forward with promise and anticipation.<br /><br />i don't really think about my birthday however i do think about Darby's because i understand that every day (much less year) is a true gift.will howletthttp://www.encampus.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4963100779549349187.post-52085765933476346062011-10-18T08:59:12.709-04:002011-10-18T08:59:12.709-04:00I really like that Sarah.

It really makes us think and we're always excited to achieve something and say "Ha, I have my answer for question #1 next year!" Birthdays definitely aren't the same as they were when we were kids but we can still use them as a chance to self-reflect like you said and thank God for another year of life that we will hopefully do something with.Sarah @ See Sarah Eathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03501507918783899135noreply@blogger.com
