It’s better to be over the hill than buried under it
Birthdays are a time for celebration, laughter, and reflection. As we get older, it's easy to feel like we're "over the hill," but the truth is, it's better to be over the hill than buried under it. This phrase may sound a bit morbid, but it actually carries a valuable lesson about aging with grace and humor.
When we reach a certain age, it's common to feel a sense of dread about getting older. We may worry about wrinkles, gray hairs, and all the other signs of aging that come with each passing year. But the reality is that getting older is a privilege that not everyone gets to experience. It's a reminder that we have lived another year, made memories, and grown wiser with each passing day.
Being "over the hill" is often seen as a negative thing, but it can actually be a cause for celebration. It means that we have reached a point in our lives where we have accumulated wisdom, experience, and a lifetime of memories. It's a time to look back on all the things we have accomplished and all the challenges we have overcome. It's a time to appreciate the journey we have been on and the person we have become.
On the other hand, being "buried under the hill" is a stark reminder of the fragility of life. It's a reminder that our time on this earth is limited and that we should make the most of every moment. It's a reminder to live life to the fullest, to cherish our loved ones, and to pursue our dreams with passion and determination.
So, as you celebrate another year of life, remember that it's better to be over the hill than buried under it. Embrace your age with humor and grace, and remember that getting older is a gift that not everyone gets to receive. Laugh at the wrinkles, celebrate the gray hairs, and cherish the memories that come with each passing year. Happy birthday, and here's to many more years of laughter, love, and joy.
