Yes, each passing year is a gift that I take time to do inventory on myself. Did I grow and have I made a difference in the world? The answer is not always pretty, but it gives me something to strive for, and change. Twenty more years I'll be almost perfect.

Growing old has plenty of opportunities. Finally, we slow down and smell the roses and appreciate the beauty life has to offer. So yes celebrate your birthdays and honor all that you have accomplished in life.
