DAILY RAMBLINGS....Day Eight

January 22nd....‘DAILY RAMBLINGS’

     Day Eight

Today is my husband’s birthday.  Wow seems just like we celebrated it and here it is again. In fact this morning I saw the pictures from last years celebration on Facebook memories.  I’m glad I saw them before I got ready for the day. Seemed I had the same outfit picked out for today including my jewelry. This was just too funny. The unfortunate thing is that with his birthday today that means mine will be right around the corner; actually twenty-five days from today.  January does not seem to hold many birthdays where I sent greetings as does February for some reason. Only a few in the immediate family have January birthdays; one grandson,  my husband and a few cousins. February brings on many birthdays in the family; not only mine, but a grandson, step-son, cousins as well as friends and acquaintances.  As I looked over the days for February I find on one day I’ll be sending out at least four birthday greetings.  A few years ago I composed the following piece about birthdays.  I thought about my own birthday and what it meant for me. I decided years ago it was a day I’d do whatever I thought I’d want to do. Today with it being the birthday of my husband, who is my best friend, it’s the day for him to do whatever he wants to do. I have made plans for him to go to lunch and then for adult beverages.  I’ll be the DD (Designated Driver).  Birthdays to me are an important date.  It’s actually to me the New Years of ones life.  It’s actually the beginning of another year in a person’s life.  Personally I feel that the birthday is the New Years of the individual; after all a new year begins in the person’s life.  Think about this. Are not many of you still the same age on New Years Day?  Shouldn’t your birthday be your new year?  My husband uses his birthday as the day he makes his goals and intentions for the next twelve months. He had told me this for the past thirty years;(we’ve been married twenty-nine years in October twenty-nineteen.).  I’m actually considering his way of thinking for my birthday to begin my true goals and aspirations for this year.  As you think about your own birthday (whether it’s past already for this year or in the future) think about it as your own personal New Year’s Day. Remember it’s your WHATEVER DAY; as the day after is your WATCH DAY!

Until tomorrow....Happy Hump Day!
