A new little one

Last week a new baby was born.  She arrived on my birthday.  Although due to a bad cold I have yet to lay my eyes upon her.  In pictures she seems quite precious.  I am in high hopes of seeing her in a few days.

This morning while waiting on computers to fulfill the tasks assigned them (it is sad how much of my life has been devoted to this very thing), I began to ponder the future.  I wonder who she'll be 45 years from now.  Will she spend way too many of life's precious moments stuck on the mundane.  Perhaps she will develop a cure for aids or cancer.  Perhaps she'll be president. 
I am happy to share my day of birth!!  I am looking forward to the future.  If only to see if she makes better use of it than I. 

I do find it odd however,  people seem to expecting some kind of reaction from regarding the sharing of the day.  I have things like now you'll actually have something to celebrate.  Or now you have to share the day.  These statements leave me puzzled.  I consider myself quite capable of sharing.  I also, feel that I am quite capable of adjusting to added cause for celebration.

Today however, reveals a different cause for celebration. My gf and I are at 10 months of dating. I sent her the flowers in the picture.  Obviously I am not trying to buy her affection.  I think she liked them.  Which is indeed what is important. 
10 months is quite a milestone.  Yet I find myself thinking... "WOW really it does not seem like 10 months."  It has been really good.  I guess that is all for now...
