Daddys Day
42!
It doesn’t look like a very high number when you write it down but that’s the number of years I’ve been on this planet. 15,330 days! Now that looks like quite a high number doesn’t it. Its only when you see it as 367,920 hours on planet Earth that you start to wonder what you’ve done with all of that time!? Sleep and studying probably only covers about half, working possibly another quarter but that leaves nearly a quarter of my life where I was doing what exactly? Building character? Growing as a person? Reading Facebook post on the toilet? It’s hard to know if I’ve made the best use of my time really but as I open my 42nd set of Birthday cards, it’s a real treat to see how many people thought enough about me to put pen to paper.
What’s more is when I head outside, the number who have got their crayons out too! Rachel has put the feelers out and a few friends have gone all art-attack-y and made pictures for me! They’re all totally different and creative and it strikes me that, that chunk of time might not have been entirely mis-spent if I’ve managed to get people around me, who would do this for me!
