It’s your birthday.  Your own private New Year.  A time to reflect on all things – YOU.  Savour your past, embrace your present (no, not the gift wrapped one) and imagine your future.  This is your day!  Enjoy it.  Wallow in your self-indulgence.  Be one with YOU.  If you start to feel a bit guilty or down because you could be more (or less)… STOP!!!  Do NOT go there.  You’ve done well.  After all, you came into this world with nothing, not even your name.  You are good, intelligent, creative and best of all – LOVED.   No sighing, blubbering or whimpering; it does no good… Besides, you’re going to need all that energy and breath to blow out all those freakin’ candles.
