Thursday: Have a Celebration
Today, I had something to celebrate. It was my final Chemo treatment, so we took ourselves out for a nice Linner (Lunch/Dinner). But growing up, whenever my family needed to have a celebration (either to erase a bad day, or if we just needed something fun), we'd walk up to the corner grocery store and get a cake and some candles and declare it someone's UNbirthday. These usually popped up several times a year and were always a surprise. And they always ended in laughter, sighs (& sugar highs).
You can make it as elaborate, eclectic, or simple as you like. Pull out the china and have a Mad Hatter's tea party, with slanty, imperfect yet yummy homemade cakes; OR go to the bakery/grocery store and pick up one of their creations (if they have a cake wreck, all the better). Invite friends, make it a family ordeal, or just a party for one - whatever you need. And it doesn't have to be something big - it can just be a celebration of the fact that you made it through the day (Good Job!).
So, a very merry unbirthday... to you, yes you.
