Today I’m 37 years old!
When I show up to speak at conferences, people who have never met me except via audio or books always think I’m much older than I am. I’m never sure if that’s a good thing or not!
Hopefully when I’m 87 people will think I’m younger than I am!
On Wednesday, Kelley and I celebrated my birthday (even though my grandmother used to say it was bad luck to celebrate a birthday early). She planned a ‘birthday in NYC’ for me, which include a visit to the Top of the Rock, lunch at Hill Country and then a taping of the David Letterman Show. It was a great day!
Tonight Alexander and I will celebrate together by sharing a cupcake!
If the next 37 years are anything like the last, I’ve got a lot to be thankful for!
With gratitude to God,
Nelson
