Today's my birthday. I'm 37 years old, and I'm not ashamed in the least to say it. I tell so many people, I'd rather be a year older than be dead. Sounds rather harsh, but it's true. I think we should celebrate getting older, wiser, and more beautiful, for I believe that's exactly what birthdays do for us.
So, in honor of my birthday, here's 37 reasons (in no particular order) I'd rather be alive NOW!
