Birthdays


I've been thinking about birthday's a lot this week. I really feel like birthday's are a special time and you should be treated like a king or queen on your birthday. Perhaps the general consensus is that birthdays become less important as we get older, and become adults. But I disagree. I love it when people remember my birthday, and I love feeling like the day is full of selfish indulgences.

It's a day to remember what birthdays were like when you were a kid, full of cake, and balloons, and party hats. Even if you aren't having a party, hopefully you still get that feeling a little bit. To all my friends near and far HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I might not be able to call, or send gifts or bake you goodies, but in my heart I'm thinking about you.

I have some ideas of how I can be a better friend on your special day, even if we aren't in touch as much as we'd like to be....I can't tell you what my ideas are, because that would ruin the surprise! So instead, I'm asking you to email me your current mailing addresses. Many of you have moved, and I've been bad about keeping my information up to date. Sooooooo....if you are reading my blog - email me and send me your mailing address!

And if you've had a birthday recently that I've missed -- this blog is for you!
