On Trying New Things …

Today is my 40th Birthday. Yep.

And since birthday’s with a zeros on the end don’t come around every day, and since it’s been quite a year all round, what with falling in love, getting married, moving to the other side of the world, writing ‘7 Secrets‘ …

Anyway, in honor of all that, I’ve decided it’s time to do something I’ve never done before.

“Oh wow, you mean like Sky diving”

Well, no. What I am referring to is …  telling people it’s my birthday, like I’m telling you.

A normal birthday for me is to unplug the phone and sneak off by myself for the day.

And when it comes to throwing  a party, jeeps. I think I’ve thrown myself one birthday party. It was for my 21st and I only did it because everyone told me I had to, which of course I didn’t. I probably ended up in tears.

And it’s not like I don’t like parties, on any other occasion I’m told I throw quite the joyous celebration. Just not on my birthday.

Why oh why do I have ‘birthday issues’?
I don’t know. It’s nothing to do with the age thing. Nope, getting older is cool. But you know what, while I could take a pretty good guess to the reason –  I’ve decided -who cares why!!

In the name of doing things that scare me – even when it’s a seemingly small thing that  most people appear to do with ease – I want to tell you it’s my birthday!!

There. Done. Doesn’t seem so scary.

And Happy Birthday to Janet who also has a birthday today;  Happy Birthday to all the Sagittarians, and Happy Birthday to everyone who feels uncomfortable celebrating their birthday, for whatever reason!

Ahh.

Love me.
