Everyday is Your Birthday

Jake and I were talking about birthdays a few weeks ago. How we treat people extra-special when it’s their birthday. How we feel it’s ok to ask for a little more special treatment when it’s our birthday.



It made me wonder why we don’t do this more often. Why we reserve the extra-special for birthdays. I know, it’s once a year and it’s easier and more realistic to drop everything and prioritize someone once a year. But imagine if we picked a select few people in our lives and decided we would treat them as if it was their birthday every single day. So you could always treat them with a little something special?



Maybe special would lose its meaning then? Since every day will be special and all…



But I think not.



I think it would make the relationship that much stronger. That much better and deeper. And wouldn’t it be cool to know that you don’t have to wait for their birthday to make those special pancakes, to give that awesome gift, to make them feel as special as they are in your life?



It just feels right to me. I want my loved ones to know that everyday is their birthday. That I can make them feel special every day. I want to.
