Happy Birthday 6th of February Birthdays!

The 5th Day of Just Another Blog Day!

Today is just another day. It's the 6th day of February, a Saturday, in the year 2010, almost 3:00 p.m. We woke up, got out of bed, brushed our teeth just like we do everyday. But, today is not just any day. Today, it's someone's Birthday out there. There's someone out there turning 20, someone turning 30, and someone turning 50, today. It's a day to celebrate someone's day of birth. Everyday is someone's birthday and I admire the one's who celebrate theirs. Every birthday, whether the 1st, 10th, 50th, or 95th should be celebrated. It's the only day of the year that is your day. It belongs to you and anything goes on that day. Unless, you're born on the 29th of February, which means your birthday comes once every four years. If you were born on that date, then, I don't really have anything to say about that, besides you must be really unique, and just make sure you celebrate big once every four years.

So, today I am attending 2 birthday parties, and I'm really happy, not just because it's their birthday, but because they're celebrating their age. One is turning 50 and the other 20, so, I'm going to be time traveling a bit tonight, in my own way.

We tend to brush off birthdays as we get older. We complain about the amount of candles on the cake, and how we don't feel like doing anything, but you have to realize that that day is not coming back. You're never going to be that age again. So, for the people that celebrate birthdays, stay on it, and for those who usually don't, try to age gracefully and take advantage of the fact that your brithday isn't once every four years. Enjoy every year and all that it comes with, even if it's wrinkles. Think of it this way, wrinkles are just evidence of the kind of life you've had. Laughter and smiles will keep your wrinkles in the right places.

"Every human being on this earth is born with the tragedy, and it isn't original sin. He's born with the tragedy that he has to grow up...a lot of people don't have the courage to do it."

- Helen Hayes

Tip of the Day: Spend time with a child, and you'll realize what you're missing out on. We grow up and grow out of getting excited over small things. Pay attention to what the child talks about and how they perceive the world around them. Try to keep your spirit young, no matter what age you are.
