I suppose when you reach a certain age, a birthday is just any other day until you are reminded that it is indeed your birthday (15th); whether the greetings are before, on the day of, or belatedly. Of course, I always know when my birthday is but what makes it special is the expression of thoughts and greetings from people I care about, or those who care about me.
A year ago, some co-workers surprised me with a slice of red velvet cake with a matching spiral candle that was lit for me to make a wish. I was touched by their gesture since I couldn't remember the last time that I had a birthday cake with a candle to blow and make a wish.
I don't exactly recall what I wished for but I know that every year is a blessing and gift in often unexpected ways. Still, I have my ongoing wishes.
I wonder what the year ahead will bring ...
