How many times have you wished someone a happy birthday and heard 'oh its just another day, whats the big deal?!' in response? I know I have a zillion times! And every time I hear that, I end up trying to convince the other person that 'no its not just another day, its your birthday, which basically means that it is YOUR day and therefore deserves to be celebrated!'The age argument of course is the most oft-used excuse for the lack of enthusiasm.It is amazing how age is such a scapegoat for morosity. Au contraire I believe that the older you get, the more you must value your life, coz what we have less of, is precious and what is precious must be celebrated! Logical isn't it? But of course, the more grey you get on the TOP of your head, the less grey you have left INSIDE of it!I am generally bad at keeping the 1 million promises I make to myself at the rate of a hundred everyday. But if there is something I will give my right arm and left leg to ensure, it is of keeping the joy and love for life alive in me. I promise myself that when I turn 60, I will throw myself the biggest birthday party ever! A bottle shaped cake, an in-house bar flowing all night, lots of sinful food, all my friends and family, the works! And there I will be sitting joyfully amidst it all, celebrating me and the lifethat I lived...mostly with love.
