My Birthday Wish

So, today is my birthday. I’ve decide to share this fact with you, my dear readers, and celebrate it with you. If there is someone else amongst you celebrating his/her birthday today – Happy Birthday! And to all my fellow Pisces, who have celebrated their birthdays these days and weeks – I wish happy belated birthday. To all of you out there who have already had their birthdays or will celebrate them later this year I want you to know that you are wonderful gifts to this world, you make a difference and you bring a lot to many people’s lives, even though you might not be aware of that.

Every year we get that one special day to celebrate our lives and to be reminded, by all those “happy birthday” messages, how appreciated and loved we are. Our birthdays keep us in the loop and remind us not to take ourselves for granted. Our birthdays make us aware how valuable we are.

Life is a gift. Every day we are alive is a gift. And we are a gift (to so many people). When we are aware how loved and appreciated we are, we can get so much more out of our lives. I’m still learning to celebrate my life and who I am, and this birthday is a good occasion to motivate myself to do that.
In fact, not only a birthday but every day is a chance to celebrate life. Every day we are alive we get that chance. Every day that we spend with loved ones and friends, that we have our health, a roof over our heads, clothes to wear, and food to eat–these are the days we should celebrate. We don’t need to put off our joy or happiness and wear that beautiful dress or those special shoes for days that are designated as special. Every day is special. Every day is fantastic. Love and happiness occur in our lives when we focus on them – especially when we are focusing on bringing love and happiness to others on their special day. Celebrate those you love every day–make an effort to ask yourself if there’s someone you’ve been taking for granted, then take the time to let them know how much they mean to you.

So, celebrate yourself every day. Laugh, play, connect with those you love. Life wasn’t meant to be so serious. We aren’t meant to be caught up in the past or worrying about the future.   We are meant to live in the moment, because all we have is right now. Today celebrate yourself with me!
