 It’s my birthday today, April 17th and I truly believe in celebrating NOT just the day, NOT the entire month but the birthday season.  I love making a big deal about my birthday (big surprise?).   This all started when I was in my early twenties and I discovered that if I extended the invitations for lunch, dinner and gatherings, I could have the whole month of April full of celebrations  - and it worked event better if I started in March and ended in May! I also think that feeling happy and celebratory for a season can only bring good things to our lives, therefore, I milk it and stretch it!

One of my most memorable and  FUN celebrations was when I worked at Proflowers.com and a co-worker, who also had an April birthday and was a believer in the Birthday Season  (must be an Aries thing) decided to put together a birthday PARADE for me at the office – yes a PARADE for ME.  We worked at Proflowers during the dot.com era, so the environment was filled with creativity and fun – therefore, a lot of people participated --  walked/danced by my desk singing, making noise and taking advantage of the opportunity to not work a little ;-) ... and it was just perfect! 

April has usually been a great month for change in my life, I have changed jobs, homes, thought  up new fun ideas - (I met my NOW husband  in April) -  it generally is a good time in my life.  Maybe it’s all the positive vibe I’ve got going during this SEASON.  This year, I am a bit more low key than usual with the birthday fuss but I am grateful and I am truly happy for the life I have and the people in it!

To end this post, I will tell you that I turned 45 today (cannot believe it WOW!). One of my neighbors told me that she ran her 1st half marathon when she turned 45 and I felt great admiration for her.  Dare I say here that I want that to be a goal this year? I think so, since I have a WHOLE year to do it.  I want to do the Disney Half Marathon (how bad can running be at the happiest place on earth?) but I will not be ready in Sept…or will I? Gulp! For sure I can run the Disney 5K this year!

Think about YOUR birthday  season, it really is a lot of fun! 

 Cheers!
