Birthday
by kaimi0achava @ 2008-05-03 - 21:25:51

I used to be so excited when it comes to birthday (cakes, good food, party, friends, and lots of gifts)... but am not that fond of birthdays nowadays :no: I suppose when your "number" is getting higher -- you are not please to be reminded that the ‘number’ has just increased by 1.

Anyway, today is my birthday and I will take this very day as a day to introspect and a day to try and think of all the positive things I've accomplished this year… still thinking. Still thinking. I know it is not good to constantly focus on the negatives, so today I want to be good to myself!

Well, no cake so far. Gifts? T-shirt, a tenner, a book, and some chocs – bang goes the diet. My dad called at 6pm to say happy birthday... well technically he said ‘hello birthday boy what have you been up to?’ then said my card was there if I want to pick it up. My eldest daughter came around at 5 with her and my youngest daughters’ card and a remote control helicopter :??:. My youngest called when she finished work and said was too knackered to see me but would visit me on Tuesday or Friday, :**:

Happy Birthday! O, I understand you very, very much.
I've got that thinking always when my age is rouded like 30 or 35 so I was feelig bad by couple days of last January but after that I relised that nothing has changed.
So, it doesn't matter how old we are, it's imported how old we feel.

Thank you, :)

I feel so old! :))

I know, the next day you feel the same, nothing has changed except you now have an extra digit added to your age. It does alter peoples attitude to you though. Not your current close friends and family, but to new people and those bloody security check phone calls.. :))

An extra digit sounds a bit extreme.
Usually I just increment the last digit by 1! :))
Never mind. At least all that expectation and disappointment is over for another year now!
Have a belated virtual birthday hug.
xx
PS I'm still waiting for cake, too, and mine was 3 weeks ago - guess I'll have to do what I always do and make it myself :(
No, make that 4 weeks - crap, I'm even odler than I thought :'(

I must confess, I've got few consolation habits.
When that age-sadness got me, I think: O, I've got so many years to 100..
Or when I see new photography with me and I'm not enjoyed I tell myself that the last pic when I'm so young and pretty:)
and then it gets me again :))

I know how you feel. It's just a number after a certain age.
Still:

i usually try my best to ignore my own birthdays, they stopped feeling special when my childhood ended.
looks like i'm only just in time to wish you a happy birthday! :)

Thank you. :)

I dont want to celebrate with parties etc, but to have friends and family to make an effort to see me, chat etc. Mind you don't you find that there is always one person who thinks it hilarious to bring up numbers. You know the 'I am x years old and don't care who knows it' and is their crusade in life to 'out' those of us who a bit sensative about it.

i know what you mean but to me it always seems such a fraud...it may well be over 40 years since i was actually born but they just don't realise that, inside my head, i'm still about 18!

Birthdays should be special. Actually, I got a friend a book recently about things to do now she is 50, and one of them was to celebrate and make a big fuss about every birthday that comes along.
I think family should make an effort, it is the one special day we get all year, just for us. In our house, if it is your birthday, you get to choose dinner, and no one is allowed to be mean to you all day :)

I adore birthdays! I celebrate for ages.... what an achievement to get through another year.... and what an excuse to enjoy yourself! You don't have to be out partying, or having loads of friends.... but it IS an achievement and you shoudl be proud of it. Some of my recent birthdays have gone on for weeks....

We always do a special meal - doesn't have to be expensive, but it has to be special.... maybe rent a DVD that the birthday boy/girl has always wanted to see.... give yourself time to do something you want to do (even if it's only to read a book or write a letter)

Even if the day itself wasn't what you hoped for, at least try and make the coming week special in some way for yourself. You'll be so glad you tried!
And happy birthday!
