This is the Year I am Soaking Up The Birthday Love

I just had a birthday...and no, I am not telling you how old I am.  I can officially say that I was around when Google and Facebook was invented.  I even remember trying to go for a run when I was a teenager with my giant, yellow Walkman strapped to my arm.  That was practically like adding a weight to my workout.

I'm like about 47% of people when it comes to birthdays - the day has always just been "meh".  But a few years ago, someone surprised me.  I walked into a room and it was full of decorations that caught me by complete surprise!  That was the moment I decided to just think of my day of arriving in this world as an adventure...an adventure of freebies!
