9 Reasons for Celebrating Your Birth Month

Another year around the sun complete. Time to celebrate my birth month as I begin the journey for another go around.

My dear friend, Cheryl, finally found the perfect card to express this sentiment. 

If you’re not on board with a lengthier celebration, perhaps you need to rethink your position.

9 Reasons why it’s good to celebrate your birthday for at least a month:

1. How many lunches/dinners with friends and family can you really pack into one day?
2. Snail mail is a bit slower these days, and all your cards and packages may not arrive exactly on time.
3. You take the pressure off those who may feel bad for missing “The Day.”
4. It gives you more time to see all the Facebook greetings.
5. Celebrating is fun and enough things in life are not.
6. It makes it possible for you to do things you like to do but may not be able to do on your birthDAY.
7. Restaurants love to treat birthday people with complimentary dessert and song, and sometimes the gatherings are on a different day.
8. You are very special and one day doesn’t do you justice.
9. Why not?

Birthdays are also fun because there’s FINALLY a benefit to getting all those excess emails the rest of the year.

I scored a FREE Bundtlet from “Nothing Bundt Cakes.” Yes, it was as delicious as it looks. Half of it was just right with a bit of chocolate oat milk ice cream. 

Note: This is the gluten-free cake. They always carry GF chocolate chip bundlets, and you’d never know it’s GF.

Panera gifted me with a reward for $2.00 off my next beverage.

Houlihan’s will give me a complimentary entrée, up to $15.

These cool offers are valid for anywhere from 1-2 weeks after my birthday. See, even food establishments know that it’s good to celebrate for more than a single day.

I must really be extra efficient since I was born in the shortest month. Each year, I improve my celebratory skills.

 Thanks to my family and lots of friends, I’m off to a great start.

And I’ve only just begun.

Feeling the love,
Carol
