IF IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY!

Do something different today! Just once. Life can be a bit predictable when you do the same things everyday. A break in routine makes a big difference. You won't regret it.  Make today stand out from all your other birthdays. If you work in an office, leave. Go to the nearest shop and buy yourself a cake. Then email all your colleagues that there's birthday cake. Every time someone wishes you happy birthday, you will feel good.
It's your day today. Make sure you put your self first! Are you like me and take on far to much, never worked out how to say NO and mean it? Try it today. If some-ones asked you for something and you'd really rather not. Say no, just the once you'll feel great. It's your birthday today.

BIRTHDAY HISTORY

It is however, believed, that the observance of birthdays began with the altered manner of keeping time. In the olden days, people used to keep track of time through the changing movements of the sun or the moon or by some important event that happened at regular intervals such as the passage of a comet. It was only when calendars were formulated in respect of lunar or solar positions did it become possible to mark time changes and other special days. This also made possible the celebration of birthdays and other anniversaries every year on the same day.

About Birthdays..:)

Birthdays have been celebrated for centuries.  One can see from Roman times where there were many holidays celebrating the emperor’s birthdays and the birthdays of the gods and goddesses to present day Christmas where Christians across the world celebrate the birth of the Christ.  Birthdays give someone that special moment in the year that is totally dedicated to them.  The “Happy Birthday to You.” song, typically sung on people’s birthday in most English speaking countries, was a ballad poem composed by two sisters, Mildred and Patty Hill, in 1893.  Birthday cards many times will have various forms of greetings from funny poetry to romantic poetry, all sharing the commonality of happy birthday poetry to honor one’s special day of the year.  Many happy birthday poems share stories and memories of people special to the composer and many other happy birthday poems underlining keep the memory of a person alive to someone who has passed on.
