Birthday's are doors in our lives that lead from one room to the next. Most birthday pass with just a cake, cards from relatives and maybe some presents. However, there are some birthdays that open into new lives and phases in our spiritual development. My 60th birthday, December 24, 2006, was one of those, all though I don't think I realized at the time. I am now 61 and I am just learning what this new phase of existence is and how to handle it.

Am I happy? Sometimes I am and sometimes I am not. I know I wouldn't want to be deliriously because then I wouldn't really know what was going on around me. Happiness and sadness come and go. I think to be truly happy one has to define what happiness means. I never defined that before I turned 60 and now the definition I had on my 60th birthday is changing. I do know to be happy all the components making up my life have to balance and I don't think everything has reached that point yet.

Happiness is a spiritual quality and I am working on my spiritual life at the moment. 2007 was full of stress and worry, I am still in the worry habit, but I am working on changing that. There are lost of things I am working on changing in my life. Writing helps me focus on what I need to change, that is why I have an offline journal called Writing My Spiritual Journey and a Gratitude journal I call Glory.

There is one thing I know for sure, that is that every 10 years a person should end or begin the decade on a high note.
