But, in general, the last four decades have been a time of great growth and change for both me and the people I’ve been close to. It’s been an amazing experience to see my friends and family grow and change, and I can’t imagine a better way to celebrate my own 40th birthday than by spending it with them. Here are a few of my favorite things to wish for when it comes to birthdays:
