I don't know whose birthday it is today .... Maybe we all are having our unbirthdays today ... But attending my granddaughters birthday bash at McDonalds a couple weeks ago brings this to mind ...
Birthdays are to be celebrated! They need to be celebrated! Its more important to celebrate birthdays than a persons promotion, or any other personal victory. Because to celebrate a persons birthday is to say to someone, "Thank you for being you!" Celebrating a birthday is exulting a life and being glad for it! On a birthday we do not say, "Thanks for what you did ... or said ... or accomplished." No, we say: "Thank you for being you!!!. Thank you for being born and for being among us!"
On birthdays we celebrate the present. We do not whine or complain about what happened or even speculate about what will happen in the future ... But we lift someone up and let everyone say: "We love you!"
