The Spirit that Shines Brightly

Happy New Age to Me, My Readers! As The Date of This Newsletter, I am a Year Older! I am now 37 Years Old! Yes, I can’t believe it either! Every Age Year, I tend to look at Various References, like Pop Culture, Movies & TV Shows, Geography, and so on for Things that have My Age Year. 33 was The “Trinity Year”. 34 refers in The One of The Most Classic Christmas Movies, The Miracle of 34th Street, 35 was An Interstate Highway (Interstate 35) that I am Very Familiar with, and 36, was 36 Hours which More than 24 Hours (A Whole Day) and Less than 48 Hours (2 Days) as well as a Texas State Highway that crossed Interstate 35.
Which Brings us to This Year!
This Year, My 37th Year. Honestly, It felt a Little Weird going into 37. 37 is Kind of an Odd Age. It always seems like The Age Number after a Big Age Number feels kinda Strange. Sort of, like Saying “I’ve turned 35 and Experienced that, so Now What?”. I was slightly more Ready to turn 37 compared to Turning 35, It still felt odd to Me.
I had an Awesome Entrance into My 30s with My Brother surprising me for My 30th Birthday; Sweden for My 31st Birthday, 32nd was a Much more Toned Down; 33rd was in Quarantine (Thanks to The Old ‘Rona); and 34th was Very Quiet for My Standard. But, My Mid-33rd to Mid-34th Years are Not Something I want to Remember because A Segment of Higher-than-High Anxiety that has took a While to come down from! I guess You could say that was My Mid-Life Crisis that Everyone says that They have either in Their 30s or 40s. But, Now We enter into My 37th Year!
So, 37 in Reference! The First One that Came right off The Top of My Head was Interstate 37, A Lesser-Known Interstate Highway that runs between
My Home Town of San Antonio and
Coastal Town of Corpus Christi.
What’s Funny, is that I feel that Interstate 37 (Which Stays in Texas Only), is sort of a Gateway Highway for Central and Southern Texans to go to The Beach, usually to The Island Town of South Padre Island. Believe Me, My Dad or Mom did that Trip a lot with Me and My Brother when We were Kids. Now, Yes, You can visit the Coastal Towns of Padre Island and Port Aransas near Corpus Christi; I have not been to either but, I know that Most Central & Southern Texans (Keyword Here: Most) go to South Padre Island. Another Mention is that Interstate 37 goes between Two Latin named Cities, Corpus Christi, meaning Christ Body and San Antonio, meaning Saint Anthony. A Weird Reference, I know!
See What I mean, An Odd Age!
In Science, 37 is An Asteroid in the Asteroid Belt called
“37 Fides”. Weird Fact! But, Interesting!
By The Way, “Fides” is a Latin Term that means to have Faith or Trust, or Belief in Something or Someone without Needing Proof!
In Pop Culture, The Number 37 is a Title of a Movie called “37” that is a The True Story about a Murder of Someone.
I will spare You the Details because It is not even Worth talking about!
And, Finally, In Numerology,
The Numbers 3 and 7 equal 10. 10 is a Whole Number compared to a Single Number.
10 Means New Beginnings, Leadership, and
Independence!
However, 37 as a Whole means Creative.
It kind of Makes me Wonder, New Beginnings of What? My Bridgett Romantic Person Storyline, Maybe? And, Independence from What? Perhaps More Independence in My Life?
Anyway, So, Here’s to Hoping for a
“New Beginning and Creative Year”!
Anyway, Onto This Newsletter, I am going to Rerun a Newsletter that explain a Different View about Birthdays. Or As My Mom and I refer to It as “Mother’s Day of Birthing”! Because, After All, Your Mom did give Birth to You on Your Birthday. It sounds a Little Strange but, It is True. That might be Why Your Mom wants to Celebrate Your Birthday The Best that She can! Because She did it!
So, Happy 37th Birthday to Me and
Happy 37th “Mother’s Day of Birthing” to My Mom!
This Newsletter was Originally Written on August 9th of 2017 (Refer to Newsletter 556)
Happy Birthday Week to Me, My Readers! Yes, Folks! This Week is what I refer to as “My Birthday Week”. Why Celebrate Just a Day when You can celebrate the Entire Month and Entire Week of Your Birthday? Genius Right? I would believe so! It is much more Fun that way. I still can not believe that I am turning 30 Years Old This Week. It just baffles me! This, However is the Last Newsletter of My 29th Year! I had a Really Great 29th Newsletter. I went to Spain and Spoke in front of PTLS Family Members; I went on a Cruise with A PTLS Family Member without My Mom, The First Trip I have done without Family of Mine since, like 5th Grade (1998). I have grown up a lot in My 29th Year. So, Adios to My 29th Year! So, This Birthday Newsletter is going to be a Little Different. Less than Traditional. So, Something that Most People don’t think about, Your Birthday is not just Your Birthday, It is also for Your Mom. Your Mom?! You would say. “It’s MY Birthday, not Hers!”. But, Here is the Thing, We would not be here without Our Moms. Our Moms giving birth to us. My Mom and I were talking about it one Night and I asked her, “What would You call the day of My Birth?”. “Mother’s Day of Birthing” and Everyone has one. In Other Words, In a way, Your Birthday is mainly about You but, also about Your Mom. So, What about Your Mom? Well, in Honor of Her, My Mom is Awesome! The Thing is about Your Mom is that You don’t realize how much She does for You from Birth to Now. I Thank My Mom for that Every Day and not just in a “Thanks Mom for Dinner” kind of way. After all, She birthed me, She burped me, She cuddled me, She took care of me, and Sent me to School among Many, Many Things. She does a lot too! She does a lot of Work (that is often Unseen, as to How hard she works) and Representation of not only Myself but, My Special Needs of Potocki-Lupski Syndrome (or PTLS for Short). That Alone deserves an Award! She does a lot of Work for Furthering PTLS and does not Get Paid (Which She should, just My Bias here!) and Eventually Will be! She tells me that She knew I had Something Special about Me and that I was Unique from The Minute that I was Born! From The Moment that She felt Everything giving Birth to Me, She knew She was going to be in for Quite a Ride! Not in the Very Least a Typical Up and Down Ride! How about an Up, Down, Upside Down, and Spinning Ride?! and, Quite a Ride that She has ridden up to Now and Will continue to Ride. Now, Imagine this Whole Ride of PTLS, Working Hard Unseen, and Raising Him Up. Comes to Her Oldest Son turning 30 Years Old on Friday! That is just Cray-Cray! I am not a Gift Receiving kind of Person (It is not My First Love Language), I would rather feel Love with Quality of Time. I would rather Celebrate The People that I know and Love as My Gift. So, that is My Gift to You. All in all, I Thank You to My Readers for Being in My Life. And, I thank My Mom for Birthing Me for You to be in My Life!
Thanks for Reading The Christianville Spirit. Thank You for Being My Lifetime Gift.
