After a certain age, one realises that the excitement of birthdays just isn't there anymore. I remember the excitement and anticipation of presents and a birthday cake as a child and teenager. Somehow, it isn't the same now. Sometimes, it takes a reminder to remember that hey, I'll turn 41 in a few days.
The day has become mostly a non-event - maybe dinner with the family, unlikely to have even a birthday cake. This year, I will spend my birthday chilling out in Bali, on of our favourite spots for a vacation. I am looking forward to the quality and relaxing time that will be spent with hubby and sons, not to mention the aromatherapy massages at the spa! I don't need the birthday cake or the presents...the simple pleasures of life should suffice for now...
Happy Birthday to me.
