Sung to the tune of “Yesterday” :
I’m forty three
there are pieces falling off of me
now I’m twice as old as I used to be
I can’t believe
I’m forty three.
Why I huff and puff climbing hills
I couldn’t say
At least my memory’s intact I…
what was I going to say ay ay ay?
Forty three
I wish I drank less beer at twenty three
I still feel young but I can no longer see
Oh Happy Birthday,
I’m forty three.
Happy, Happy Birthday!!!!
I hope you have something wonderful planned for the day and that you get all the goodies you were hoping for…and lots of chocolate 😀

Sean – So far, so good. 🙂
Courtney – I got the song live today out of you anyway. Thanks for the birthday card, too!
Tomina – thanks for singing to me live today, that was special!
Jo – It’s the miles, not the years. You’re so young and fresh that it’s easy to see I’ve got you in terms of miles. 🙂

Well, that didn’t work. I just tried calling (got the answer machine), but you’ve outsmarted me this year. Have fun at whatever party you may be at.

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.
Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”
If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.
Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
