Happy Un-Birthday!

“And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.”
Abraham Lincoin 

This afternoon I started thinking about birthdays. In many cultures and religions birthdays are not celebrated. There are many people who for a variety of reasons chose not to celebrate their birthday. I have been to wonderful birthday parties for marvelous people that I’ve known for years, lovely birthday parties for fascinating people I have just met. Due to my travels I missed birthday parties that I wished I could have attended. I’ve left the country to celebrate my birthday with travel and I’ve enjoyed tea parties with angelic four year olds to celebrate their day. Whether you celebrate a specific day with a party, a cake, a shisha pipe, a trip to the salon or a simple dinner with friends it is always nice to know that someone thinks you are special.

Happy un-birthday!
