Today is my birthday. I turned thirty-something today.
And each year I get to understand and feel what those older (let me paraphrase it, those who are more mature) than I am tell you about birthdays. It looses its excitement every time. But I’m not referring to the gifts and extravagant parties.
Birthdays are often times viewed as time passed and lost. Or, for the optimistic few, time gained. Or perhaps others see birthdays as bookmarks indicating that you’re “off the calendar” or almost near that point.
Me, I am just glad I’m still around to see the world as it evolves. I am grateful of the fact that I am still given the chance to show how I appreciate life. It makes me smile to know I can still be around the people I hold dear. My birthdays also remind me to pause for awhile and re-examine my life. Besides, birthdays only come once a year so why not spend it mull over about you just for this “special” day?
However you spend your “special” day, make sure it ends with you feeling good about your self. I know people in your life will try to make you happy and grateful on your birthday but try not to expect much on it. Expectations can sometimes be causes of disappointments.
It’s a New Year and today is my birthday. On top of the resolutions I promised myself, I’ll make an effort to see myself better than I was last year. I’ll put on a new suite for myself or probably done a newly-washed red cape which goes well with the red underware and tights.
It’s going to be a whole new adventure for a rejuvenated me.
