The older I get, and I plan to get as old as I can, I am amazed at how monotonous things really are. When I was young, everything seemed to be so new and exciting and I looked forward to the next new adventure.

remember anything) and sighed very deeply before I got out of bed. Not 
only was this another day, but it was another birthday. At my age, I 
have done so many things for my birthday I cannot think of another 
thing I want to do for my birthday except... nothing. A day of doing 
nothing would be the perfect birthday day for me. 

As I made my wishes known to the one who has known me more birthdays
than anybody else, she said, "But don't you remember? That's what you 
did for your birthday last year." 

So, I face a rather delicate dilemma. I am at the stage of life where I
have just about done everything I wanted and so there is nothing new I 
can do for my birthday. Maybe it was better when I could not remember 
my birthday. 

And so, after sighing very deeply several times I have come to an
important decision in my life. Monotony is not as bad as people say it 
is. I plan for my birthday to do a thing that I have done repeatedly in 
the past, and that is nothing, but I will do it in my "brand-new" suit.
