I turn 50 this month!
Yes, I have a summer birthday and don’t you forget it.
You may know I’m a Virgo, but I’m not super mystical about it. However, there are some attributes that seem to ring true.
“…perfectionism and criticism…complex and demanding…can be difficult to live with, but no one can doubt their sincerity…a humanitarian streak…like to make an important contribution to society…preoccupied with health and fitness…they are constantly worried about it…They wonder what it would be like to have their own business.”
This was interesting:
“Virgo likes: Animals, healthy food, books, nature, cleanliness.”
And here’s another one:
“…ambitious and organized…will endure in all activities that require time and a long battle…often find their way to leading positions in large systems that need to be maintained and held organized and strict. Areas that might spark their interest and bring out the best in them are those in writing about history, gathering biographic details on people who once lived…”
Essentially, Virgos like me love “everything that is complicated and in need of fixing…connecting their own inner extremes of beauty and responsibility into one.”
Hmmm. I’ll let you be the judge if that sounds like me.
I had intended to make a list of 50 cool things, or 50 things that I think are cool, for my 50th birthday. But honestly, I think so many things are cool, I don’t even know where to start. Books? Birds? Foods? People? Cities? Heck, I could write a list of 50 cool words, like “syzygy” and “lavaliere” and “coracle.”
Picking the topic of the list is only one problem. Limiting the list to 50 things is the next problem.
Perhaps I’ll save this activity until next year, when I can choose 51 cool things.
