Celebrating Milestones

I’ve had a number of orders for Birthday Scatter Heart Button Pics recently. These pics are a lovely way to celebrate a ‘significant’ birthday.

I got to reflecting that sometimes people were a bit coy about acknowledging these milestones, perhaps fearful of divulging their age and seeming ‘less’. I’m the opposite, always one for a good party, I believe that we should celebrate these birthdays and treat them as the life milestones they are – pronouncing to the world “I’ve got this far and I’m still standing”.

Aging is inevitable. Life is challenging; sometimes testing us to the limits of our resilience. Our living experiences make us who we are. On significant birthdays we should give ourselves a generous pat on the back and be mindful of the time and effort we’ve put into getting ourselves this far.
