On Birthdays and WdC's Birthday

Prompt:
Since this week is Birthday week at WDC, write something about Birthdays for your Blog entry today.

-------

          I do like birthdays. In fact, I deeply value them, except for my own.

         Too many candles on my cake, and that's why I don't care too much about my own birthday. I don't also care too much about recalling or celebrating my work and education successes and failures as milestones either.

         On the other hand, the milestones I care about are the important people in my life like my sons, my husband (RIP), and our families and friends. I also care about WdC as it has been a friend and a nest for me the last 23 years I have been here.

         Needless to say, birthdays mark another year of life. A birthday is a time for reflection on the past year, recognition of achievements, and setting new goals for the future. A birthday shows the uniqueness of an individual or an entity like WdC. Such celebrations show our appreciation and reinforcement of a relationship and allow a mental reset or renewal.

         And why not celebrate? A celebration is a opportunity for fun, relaxation, and indulgence. That's why we treat the birthday people with special experiences and those things that may be important to them. This, together with the festivities, creates happy and meaningful memories.

         As far as Writing.com's birthday is concerned, it is the birthday of a site that has become so important because--due to its vast resources, probabilities, and privileges--it has provided a common ground and a give-and-take opportunities among like-minded writers and artists in any stage of their development. After all, aren't these excellent reasons to celebrate and appreciate Writing.com?

So, Happy 24th, Writing.com!
