I don’t usually post about my birthdays; there have been so many (been there, done that), but this one seemed different for me.

Now, at 76 years young in February 2026, and a septuagenarian Aquarian, I am reflecting on happily stepping into the soft, golden light of life’s final quarter game.

Turning 76 is a significant milestone, an intentional phase of life where one balances deep reflection with a desire to live with purpose. At this age, there is a shift in perspective, valuing experiences over possessions, cherishing relationships and adjusting to the physical realities of aging, with a mix of acceptance & grace.

Having reflected philosophically on the significance of turning this age & what the future holds, I decided to share my “Birthday thoughts” on where I stand in my life cycle, on a web page.
