Today is my birthday and it started out beautifully as I opened a friend’s beautiful e-card from which fireworks and balloons sprung out to greet and start off my day in a spectacular way. The card showed one birthday candle waiting to be blown out, and it was very fitting — the one candle signifying to me the start of a new beginning. On your birthday you can feel fresh and maybe reborn a little — anything goes because it’s your special day.
And I thought back to earlier birthdays and the things family and friends did for me to make me feel so special. There always seemed to be good cheer, often a birthday cake with candles, sometimes some lovely presents, and, most important, people’s love. Their love made everything wonderful.
What about you? What is your happiest birthday memory? What are the things you do to celebrate your special day? What would make a perfect birthday for you?
Please share.
