28.
Is a perfect number.
Is the atomic number of nickel.
Is is a magic number.
Is the number of dominoes in a set.
28 years.
10,224 days.
245,376 hours.
14,722,560 minutes.
883,353,600 seconds.
28 minutes is long enough to watch a sitcom (give or take a few commercials).
days is a lunar month.
28 weeks is just over half of a year - long enough for you to forget just how cold (or hot) the opposite season feels.
28 years is long enough to learn what love is. It is long enough to appreciate the little things. It is long enough to realize that achieving your dreams can take work. A lot of work. It is long enough to realize that all that work is worth it.
28. A whole lifetime and the blink of an eye, all at once.
And today? I turn 28.

You put the whole thing so much more eloquently than I did on Monday. I just listed my loot :-D Perhaps that is the difference twenty years makes? I think I was pretty eloquent on my 28th birthday, but it may just have been the booze! :-D I was on the brink of life however, looking back, I know you are on the brink of a brilliant future too Maggie. Congratulations on 28 wonderful years.
Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday!!! I think 28 is a wonderful number, too! Right now I'm a big partial to 31, but 28 was great, too.
