Birthdays

This post was drafted for a year, wondering if I was ever going to post it. I bit the bullet and decided- what the hell. I'll post... 

...It is interesting how much birthdays change over the years. When you are younger, excitement mounts each minute that is closer to your birthday.  Birthdays are amazing and everything thrills the birthday person.Then you get older. Birthdays become about hanging with your friends and family. No real parties, just groups chilling and spending a relaxing evening. And then you get even older. Birthdays are just another day. You go to work, do what needs to be done and possibly be surprised by family and go out to dinner. You get a little sad because the times when you begged for your birthday to come quickly back around, are long gone. Now, you simply want to get through your day.  A simple smile and serenaded "happy birthday" changes the course of your day. And you're happy again, because at least it's noticed.
