Happy Birthday to…?
My birthday is on Sunday July 22. I will be a young 38 years old. Man, I’m old! Seriously, I have not been a big fan of birthday’s just because it changes when you turn 15. Basically, birthday’s, like Christmas, were better when you were a child. At least it was for me.
I will never forget my 10th birthday in which I had what seemed to be 1,100 people in attendance. I did a little research and it was only about 200. Many were family and neighborhood friends. Still, to have that many people come to my birthday in the park was one birthday that I’ll never forget.
As a child, you have all your family celebrating you for just being a child and the potential that you have. Not to mention most importantly that they love you. This is as sweet and as genuine as a birthday can get. However, as you get older, you have now hopefully fulfilled or completed that potential. Your life should be an expression of the love you’ve received. Who you are as a person is what is celebrated at your birthday. So, who are you? Who are you Bob Lujano?
I just came from my birthday party that was held at a favorite restaurant of mine called the Dragon. In which, co-workers and a hand full of friends attended. I recieved cards in which friends expressed their feelings. In the end, it was a very pleasant, humorous and enjoyable evening to say the least. It was bascially a smal look to who I was. I am a guy that has many admirers and well wishers, in which I am extremely grateful to have, but in the end, I have a few close friends and maybe only 1 or 2 best friends that are not family members. Of this, I am extremely grateful and very thankful!
Overall, this is all that truely matters. That I am someone that has people that truley like me and care for me and even love me. For this I am extremely grateful. Life doesn’t offer any guarantees, so whenever you do have those few people that truely and sincerely love you, you are truely a blessed and better person for it. For all this I am very grateful. This is the best birthday gift that a person can have. It may not beat my 10th birthday, but it comes close.
