    Thank you for this. Monday was my 41st birthday and I'm having real trouble becoming "middle aged." I just don't feel like I know enough (or an emotionally mature enough) to be this old. But it's nice to remember that birthdays are special, and I am lucky to have friends who love me and remember my birthday every year, even when I'm always a few days off for theirs.

    I've never been big on birthdays, especially my own. Something about celebrating me and my birth always seemed arrogant or at least self-centered. Recently though, I've come to recognize my life as a web of relationships with other people. Celebrating those relationships is something that makes sense to me, so I try to see birthdays (even my own) as an opportunity to appreciate and thank those who are close to me and have helped make me the person I am.

    Great info although its been a while since this post. May I just add some points to ponder. For the gifts, care to share fabulous food hampers, vegetable hampers, wine hampers and more. These hampers are unique because I know the receiver will have a happy face considering that it is a thrill to open such unique gift ideas. By the way, if the readers will follow your points here, I'm sure no birthday celebrants will have a "frowning face"..LOL. everybody - happy!
