the big 1-0-0-0-0 (the personal holiday of the future!)
yesterday was a major milestone for me -my 10,000th day (ex utero). which i guess makes me 40 minutes old in god years.
we had a party on the evening of day 9,999 and we rang in day 10,000 with champagne and sparklers at the stroke of midnight.
i was thankful to be able to celebrate with good friends, and also to get so many good wishes from friends who couldn't make it to the party.
perhaps best of all, a friend composed a wonderful poem for the occasion.
if you're interested in celebrating your own 10,000th day (or 15,000th, or 20,000th, etc) a google search will quickly turn up some day calculators, which will save you time figuring out the leap years.

but the question is...did they announce it in church? ;)
happy 10,000th day. i hope to see you thrive for 10,000 more!
thanks, bethany. actually, i forgot to ask to be included in the prayers-of-the-people. but i did wear my 10,000th day shirt, and father matt seemed to get a kick out of the whole thing.
Sparklers! What a great idea!
And I've pirated your work...
I'm so glad you liked my poem, but it looks like here you did not heed my hours of meticulous calculation that went into the writing of it--in God years you are either 10 million years, or 40 minutes! (For God it is not that one year is like 1000 days.)
J-Lo, your pedantic poetaster
