I have decided this year to celebrate my birthday for not just one day, but an entire week. My actual birthday is Friday ~ yes, that would be Friday the 13th. I happen to consider this to be a very lucky day!
I'm not sharing this celebration idea with my family or friends that live near to me. Just you, my bloggy friends are privy to this enlightenment. This is more of a personal celebration. I'm going to treat myself to something small each day. This morning I stopped on my way to work for a Pumpkin Latte. This was a most enjoyable indigence until one child projectile vomited across the classroom and two others went home with very high temps ~ ugh!
Over the past few years I've come to the personal conclusion that I'm much more concerned about others happiness and put mine aside. I am always on a quest to make sure that when someone is down, I send a note or treat to pick them up. If a birthday is near, I am scouring the shops and wracking my brain for the perfect gift. During the holidays I'm knocking myself out for picture perfect gifts for everyone on my lists and making sure each and every minute is memory worthy.
Me? I'm the after thought!
Not this year ~ I'm head of the line, first on the list, numero uno!
Hmmm ... what shall I do for little ole me tomorrow?

Happy Birthday!!! Stay Healthy!
Happy birthday week, Jo! I love your idea of celebrating a little each day - I think it is a wonderful way to honor all that you do for others by making sure that you are taken care of too. Flowers? New accessory? Manicure? New book? Let us know what you decide on.
Happy Birthday! You deserve to be celebrated! I love you blog! Just started following it.

- I think it is a wonderful way to honor all that you do for others by making sure that you are taken care of too. Work from home India
Wow! We are so alike. Good for you!
Endulge! A sweet cake or two, a special coffee, a little spa treatment, a little gift. Yes, I do the same, stressing and wanting to make it the perfect gift or note, which I love to do anyway.....but sometimes putting myself on the top of the list is truly not a bad thing! I need to do that more too! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
ENJOY!
Hope you had a lovely birthday. Nov. 13 was also my Grandma's b-day. She would have been 96.
Good for you missy! You are giving to us all simply by giving to yourself. You are reminding many that if we don't take care of us first, then we can't take care of others!
Have a wonderful birthday week.
xo Lisa
