Happy Birthday !?!

This is me, I really am “Just a Hula Girl at Heart”, and I absolutely love Jimmy Buffett for writing that line.

But back to Happy Birthday !?!

Today, on the occasion of my 45th Birthday, a more personal post than most. Today, when my Mom called to wish me a Happy Birthday, I congratulated her back, as 45 years ago today was undoubtedly one of the best days of her life. I have always had a weird take on Birthdays, but this one really threw her for a loop…but, right then and there, it was decided, for as many of my Birthdays she has left, the celebration will be hers.

As I truly find joy and Happiness in every single solitary day I am lucky enough to grace this planet, it is not necessary for me to specifically celebrate the day of my birth and have a Happy Birthday day only. I am happy for my birth every moment of every day. Even with the trials and tribulations of a less than charmed life, this inner feeling of peace, Happiness and joy has kept me going day in and day out, and I truly find celebrations in each and every one of them!….I just need to look harder some days than others.

I believe in honouring myself in all that I do every day, by maintaining a personal level of integrity and heeding the callings and warning signals of my inner GPS. I have had many not understand why I find the celebration of my birth on a specific day to be unnecessary, and I simply believe that they don’t have to. I would much rather receive tidings of joy on a normal day than on one where it is an implied mandatory obligation to do so. I subscribe to the school of random acts of gift giving, finding it a ton more fun to send a gift off in the mail “just because”.

Mainstream this idea is not, and misunderstood I stand, happily on my Birthday and every other day of the year, and with each trip around the sun as well!!

TeeHee!!

LA, xoxo

PS, Here’s a good laugh…my husband gave me a the equivilent of a gift card to order a Birthday Cake, so I went ahead and ordered my favorite, chocolate with chocolate icing and raspberry filling, and had them put…. Happy Birthday Ken on top! He did laugh hysterically when he opened the cake box after dinner
