Happy Birthday Thoughts

Today is my birthday! I love Birthdays! Holidays are great but Birthdays are my favorite. Not just mine but Birthdays in general. What could be better than to celebrate that you were born and got to spend one more year in this world.

Now when I say I love Birthdays, I mean LOVE them. I love planning parties, gifts, trips..... I start thinking about my birthday weeks in advance in anticipation of the day. It is not gifts that I look forward to, or dinners, well maybe the cake, lol, but I just love having the day for me.

We had a little pre-birthday celebration on Sunday during the Super Bowl. We had cake and ice cream during half time and I blew out my candles and made a wish. And low and behold it came true, Peyton Manning won the Super Bowl!!!! A wish sacrifice for "My Boy" Peyton!

When I was working in Indiana at a Middle school we made sure that all our coworkers had a celebrated Birthday. We would have a potluck, fun gifts, surprises at times, and a day of making them know we were just glad they were born.

When it comes right down to it, that is what a Birthday celebration is all about, letting someone know that you were happy they were born. In a few weeks we will celebrate my Grandson's 3rd Birthday and his birth was one of the greatest gifts ever. How could you not Love celebrating such a wonderful day letting this special boy know how happy we are that he was born.

So, on this day, even though I have a nasty cold, I am going to enjoy every minute of every hour, doing some housework, watching my sweet Granddaughter, and going out to dinner with my husband. All along just being happy that I was born!
