Happy Day Card

nook kit

I will be 27 in 5 hours and 52 minutes.

Why do I feel dumber the older I get? I thought people got old and wise- but I get old and dumb. I gain fresh perspective each year on how amazingly little I know. It kind of blows me away to think about it. I’ve been thinking about skills that I don’t have, basic, everyday, smart people would know this skills. I cannot change a tire. I cannot sew in a zipper. There are many, many things I can do like bake a pie or conjugate the German word for behead, but there is so, so much more I don’t know. And this is just the unimportant stuff, when you look at the really big stuff, well. . .Happy Birthday to a blooming idiot!

So the question of the day. . .do you ever feel smarter? Or does dumb just increase as you age and life continues to point out all of the additional things you were blissfully unaware of at a previous age?
