I do not understand people who dread their birthday's . . . what is wrong with you people? Aging? What is so bad about aging? I mean yes, things may not be as tight as they once were but who in their right mind would actually go backwards? There are times and days from the past I'd like to capture but I wouldn't trade the wisdom, and all that goes along with it, that age has given me for a line-less face. Let's be honest, botox could do that. I happen to be a BIG birthday fan . . . I may have my issues with Mother's Day - but I like a birthday!! What's not to like about a birthday?? I mean it's your day . . . you are special . . . it's a day you get to have favorites like your favorite meal - it's a day of presents and attention and niceness and most importantly . . . dessert - cake, pie, whatever . . . and a candle that you get to make a wish on - once a year - and hopefully that wish will come true. How can someone not enjoy a birthday? Today is my birthday. I am 44 years of age (holy crap). I intend to wear a smile all day. I will treat myself to something a lunch (just not sure what that is yet). I will have a fabulous dinner tonight prepared by my friend Erin, my 2 children and my soul mate Buoy will be with me. We will have rum cake cake for dessert, I will get sung to and I will make a special wish . . . . wouldn't you like to know!?!?!?
Happy Bierthday, Love!
ReplyDeleteI will be 44 this year too...I've never had a problem with birthdays...except for the year I turned 40..as if hitting that mile stone wasnt hard enough I found myself suddenly single and alone and scared and facing the reality that I was never going to have the fantasy life I always thought I would...growing up in a brady bunch type family has its downfalls when you don't repeat that life as an adult.
ReplyDeleteBut anyway...hopefully the rest of the birthdays will be great and celebrated LOUDLY :)
