42!

[peacetraveler22]

On 17 February 1973, a young woman named Judy entered a hospital in Manassas, Virginia and gave birth to me. She was only twenty years old at the time, and so many years have passed since then. I can hardly believe that I'm now 42! Each time I look at the year of my birth I'm in shock. :)) How can it be, when I still feel like a twenty year old at heart, and in spirit?

The past two years, I celebrated my birthday in Moscow, but this year I'll be warm and cozy in my apartment, looking at the white snow falling from the window. Mother nature delivered a snow storm to the Washington, DC area on my special day, and subzero temps for the past week. I guess it's good for a winter baby like me, to welcome a new year of life with snowflakes and my favorite temperatures. We can never know what life will bring us each year; however, there's always a certainty there will be ups and downs. Joys and sorrows. And I hope many adventures!

Hello 42...let's have some fun! :)



Russia - see you next week! I arrive on 24 February, and the first big journey of the year begins!

Thank you! Tomorrow will be a quiet, restful day because my work is closed due to the snowstorm. So, maybe I'll have time to write new posts, in between eating birthday cake. :))

You are lucky... We never had such conditions to have a restful day due to snowstorm... You even shouldn't be late...(((
By the way, here is the 17th already!)))
