Birthday celebrations date back as far as biblical times, when celebrations among Pharaohs and other significant individuals have been mentioned. There is even some evidence to suggest that in pagan cultures people feared that evil spirits lurked about an individual on their birthday because they tended to become more malicious around important events in one's life. In this case birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and actual births were all noted for their importance and their potential for harm. Because of this, gifts were often bestowed upon the celebrant as a means of wishing them well and offering good luck.
Today is my birthday. Well, it is a happy 31st birthday. Geez, I am not as excited as I normally would be. How come ? But thank you for all the birthday wishes.
Do you get excited about your birthday ?
They say that age is all in your mind. The trick is keeping it from creeping down into your body.
