One of the sweet things with amalgamated
families is birthdays. In fact, with so many
children, 'twould be easy to be partying
hearty all the time. I get a kick just looking
at our birthday calendar!
So, why are birthdays so important? Must
have something to do with the passage of
time, a marker for that sense of accomplish-
ment. Birthdays somehow have the ability
to remind us that we're alive and marking
time.
That phrase, 'marking time' is important;
I would add that it's up to us to make that
positive rather than negative. This has been
brought to mind by my 70th year. I really
wanted to make it special as my docs said
I wouldn't live this long. So, I've made an
effort to do some small thing daily, a tad
larger weekly, etc.
I have found it fun to simply think about
those small things that make a day special.
I choose the one I can make happen on a
given day and enjoy it. I've come to under-
stand that simply focusing and remarking
on a given activity makes it even more
special. We do take too many things for
granted.
So here's to birthdays, time granted us
and enjoyment to be had at every turn.
celebrating life
enjoying every moment
glories to be had
