How much fun is a birthday?
My guess is depending on the age of the reader will depend on whether or not you enjoy celebrating your birthday. I spent part of the day on Wednesday with my daughter, Mary, celebrating her 12th birthday.
It was a nice fun day - just some family time together, reliving the day she was born (I think it's a girl thing ;-)) and celebrating with her favorite foods for breakfast, lunch and supper.
But one of the surprising fun things was I got to sit next to another daughter I usually do not sit next to - my youngest, Therese. It was a bunch of fun, and just an enjoyable day to try to relax and enjoy the day.
We did do some work on the house trying to get it ready for the market so we can move closer to East Peoria. It's all the little things we never got around to doing that will now get done so someone else will get to enjoy.
Why is it we don't allow ourselves to enjoy the present time - "We'll be happy when I'm done with...." It's like we program ourselves not to enjoy the present time - it's always in the future.
Part of the reason why I enjoy our dog (Adena) and cat (Oliver) is they enjoy the present time. They don't wait for something later, they have fun now. Adena (a retired seeing eye dog) loves her ball, and will get it whenever someone comes in. Oliver loves to cath a fly on the run!
So much fun, so little time. :-)
