Birthday


Yesterday was my birthday.  I spent it like any other day -- gym -- shopping -- tasks for Hands.

But it did keep playing in the back of my mind that it was my birthday and maybe I should do something special for me to celebrate....

I was remembering when I was younger my Mom used to spend a lot of time and energy planning my birthday parties. It was always a Halloween themed birthday with a cake to match.... everything from pumpkin shaped cakes to witch hat shaped cakes.  

Then I got too old for themed parties and I don't remember why but one year my Mom had to buy my birthday cake.  It was a vanilla cake with vanilla icing (my favourite) and roses on top.   I have a terrible sweet tooth and those roses.... mmmmmmmm... I can almost still taste them -- feel the sugar melting in my mouth.  From that point on, the big treat for my birthday was a 'bought birthday cake'.  I think it made my mom grind her teeth (she never bought something she could make herself) -- but it was my birthday and my treat.

Yesterday I thought maybe I would go and buy myself a small birthday cake with roses on top.  I was out doing messages and the thought kept playing in my head.  BUT then I remembered how hard I had worked at the gym and asked myself was it worth it??? 

So I didn't buy myself a birthday cake -- and will have no guilt going into this new year.

YAY me!  and Happy Birthday to me!
