Many Birthdays In June

June is really a month of birthdays. I've been to quite a number of celebrations. Each one is a milestone. Each one is a chance to appreciate the presence of the birthday boy or girl in my life. Be it friends or family, being invited to a birthday party is something that we should never take for granted. Similarly, if one is given the task of organising such a party, one ought to take it as a privilege, and no matter how much effort is required to set a date or perhaps gather the necessary guests, the end result is always worthwhile.

 

We had a dinner in honour of Mum's birthday slightly early this year, actually only two days early. It was the weekend which made it easier to get into the heart of town, and Mum had travel plans on her actual birthday. A nice dinner in nice surrounds, with a custom-designed cake to boot.

 

I view being part of birthday celebrations as an opportunity to be bestowed and to bestow good vibes, the former from the person we are honouring, the latter to the said person in return. The positive energy is shared amongst all present, uplifting our spirits and putting us in a happy state-of-mind. Happy birthday again to all those celebrating in the month of June.
