The alternative to having a birthday is to find some enchantress to turn me immortal or to die. That's the cold hard facts no one can avoid. This blog is for people who ignore birthdays like that will turn back the clock of time. I wholeheartedly admit I'm getting older on November 11, but I don't have to grow up. Instead of fretting about things I can't control, I'm striving to enjoy my life as is. I'm not looking for a big birthday hootenanny. I just want to be able to cuddle with my cats, spend time with my hubby, and have a birthday treat. Okay, three more things: take a guilt-free nap, write, and read! I really am greedy, aren't I?
As other holidays approach, many people are becoming stressed out about what they can't afford or what might not be delivered in time because of supply chain issues. Believe me, you can enjoy special days without emptying your bank account or getting exhausted shopping for the perfect object. Count each breath you take as the ultimate gift while you spend time with those you love. Hubby and I savor our moments together and feel that is enough of a present in a world of uncertainties. If you still want to exchange stuff, I have some low budget and stress-free ideas. If you don't like my suggestions, maybe they will inspire something else that works for you.
