Don't work on your birthday

Unless you have absolutely no other option,

DON'T WORK ON YOUR BIRTHDAY !

This is your day.. celebrate !

Don't let it slip past as just another routine, faceless, 'one out of 365' day.

Every day is special,

but birthdays are milestones, benchmarks.

Put enough birthdays together

and you have a life, your life.

It is a day to pause, perhaps even reflect

if you are that way inclined.

Make a fuss, eat ice cream,

have a party and get some presents,

even if you have to buy them yourself.

Celebrate

your birthday with the

enthusiasm of a ten-year-old child,

ever year.
