Whatever else birthdays are good for, be it eating, relaxing, enjoying life, they are good for introspection.
It's a good time to reflect.
It can be a day of personal assessment, a time to vow to change or improve something in your life.
It can be a day to look back on where you've been and look ahead to all the wonderful things yet to come.
Good for it.

I still feel like this.
The photo was taken in spring of 1980 making me 21. It was taken by fellow J school grad Chris McKerracher.

Happy birthday to you! Hope I look so good at 54. At least, the male version of looking so good anyway.
Chris, thanks for the wish and for your kind words.
I see absolutely no difference between those pictures.
Happy Birthday.
Betty, you are much too kind. Thank you.

Happy Birthday!
The inner you shines in both pictures.
