Interestingly enough, maturity doesn't seem to be a requisite to having a birthday. I went thru a rough time around my 40th, but it was about what was going down at the time, not the # of candles on my cake...now that I can look back on a half-century (something I assure you I don't yet feel mature enough to do), I've found it oddly liberating...but again, that's more about what I've been thru, & found myself still standing...

Am I fighting the urge to tell ya to "get over it?"...hmmm, maybe...
