June is my birthday month. On Friday the 3rd I will be turning 44 years old. I remember not to long ago I thought 44 was really old - but you know what you are as old as you make yourself be. You can be an old lady at 20 something or a young lady at the age of 50, 60 or even 70 ;) . I definitely plan to be that young lady.
I have to admit that I love my birthday! I love all birthday's and think that they are the most important day of the year for that person. It is just YOUR day. Yes you may share it with people you know and even those you don't but it is YOUR day.
My parent's are the ones that instilled this importance. When it was your birthday - you were in charge -you choose the meal and what type of cake you wanted. My grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins would come over after dinner and celebrate YOU.
I am passing this on to my kids. When it is their birthday - we wake up to a birthday song - presents are opened right away - they pick the meals and activities for the day (as long as school or sports aren't neglected). Then we have a big party for the extended family.
