Treating yourself on your Birthday
To me it is important to treat yourself nice on your birthday. No matter what the situation may be but doing something special however little is is is important to do as a sign of recognition for that special day. things like going to church wearing clean clothes if you can afford new one buy yourself a flower if there is no one to give you one. take yourself to see a movie if you do not anyone to go with you but inviting some true friend is very nice. cutting a cake is definitely great. if you can afford it buy yourself a gift . Your birthday is a special day therefore whatever you can do to treat yourself nice is a sign to say thank-you for the beautiful day God has made to bring you to this world.
Some people may have a big party and do great things, but always remember do not over do it for what good will it do if you spend all the money on your birthday to please others and after you accouter great difficulty to pay meet later your obligation. At the same token if someone can't afford to celebrate big do not criticize him/her because they may not have enough to do as they would like to. Great friends will most of the time remember your birthday but sometimes they may forget, that's part of life. As long as you remember and even if you can do anything a nice bath while listening to some music of your choice can definitely change the mood to celebrate on your special special day which will always remind you of how lucky you are to be part of this wonderful world.
For those who do not believe in celebrating birth yet I still feel your birthday should also be remembered as a time to count the days you plan to remember. In most culture birthdays are special days but we respect off course the small groups who do not believe in the celebration of birthdays. Some don't because it is a cultural thing. Some do it just because they really feel they should. Some don't as a habit because they never celebrate. Some stop celebrating because they feel it is a waste and they are getting older . You see, no matter what the reason you celebrate or not celebrate the most important hing is to remember the day of birth is a special day.
