Birthdays! 🎉
There was a time in my life when I didn’t like them much.
I didn’t want the attention.
I didn’t want the reminder of another year.
Now I see it differently.
A birthday means we’re still here.
Another year lived.
More experiences.
It's something to be grateful for.
Today this feels especially important to me because it’s my mom’s birthday.
Someone who has given me everything.
Someone who showed me how to love and be loved.
Someone who has always been there for me.
Today, I celebrate her.
I also think about how my wife shows up for our boys every year.
Not with piles of gifts.
But with intention.
Balloons and banners when they wake up.
Their favorite breakfast.
Their favorite dinner.
A quiet message that says
this day matters
and so do you.
We understand how important that is when we’re seven.
I think it’s just as important when we’re seventy.
To pause.
To acknowledge another year.
To be seen.
That’s something I’d love for us to do more of in this community.
Please tell me when your birthday is coming,
ideally a week or so ahead,
so we can acknowledge it when the day comes.
It matters.
Our birthday is one day each year that marks a life lived.
Another year experienced.
That deserves to be celebrated.
