| Miles and Molly's birthday cards for me. |
My birthday was this past week. For me, this was no cause for fanfare. In fact, in the days just prior, I was feeling pretty depressed about it. For at least a few years, birthdays have dredged up reflections on how little I have to show for my accumulation of years. I try to remind myself that I have at least accomplished some worthwhile things along that time, both big and small, but it's hard to entirely dispel the gloom. Good friends and family have helped to brighten matters up, though. This year, I felt especially blessed after experiencing a number of tender mercies from God.
