39 was so last year. These days, our dad is a new and improved 40-year-old! Because you know what they say: “40 isn’t old if you’re a tree.” Wait… that’s the wrong pep talk for aging gracefully. Let’s try this again…
Dad, listen closely to the trees planted over the hill; they whisper wisdom in the wind:
- Drink plenty of water and seek nourishment from the good things in life
- Be flexible; bend before you break
- Go out on a limb once in a while
- Remember to turn over a new leaf or let some go at times
- Accept the changing seasons
- Stay grounded and connect with your roots
- Stand tall and proud and celebrate each growth ring
- Enjoy the view
Happy birthday, Dad! Forty sure looks good on you!
