As my birthday approaches, I find it hard to control my love for birthdays! My time in Benin has taught me that I really do love a good celebration, a jovial gathering of people! I love the good spirits, tasty food, laughter, tears and communal silences that come with a celebration.
For birthday celebrations I enjoy the that a group of people, whether in the same place or not, are celebrating an individual. In my mind, birthdays are a time when we stop and acknowledge another's inherit uniqueness, and our thankfulness for the commencement and continuation of a life. Quite simply, a birthday celebration is beautiful in it's celebration of life, and the joy it brings us.
I think I'll expand on this post later, but I have to do some work!
