Today, I am taking a “break” from this blog to celebrate my daughter’s fourth birthday.

Yep, the big F-O-U-R.

So, I am not going to be able to give you one of my usual posts. Instead, I want to ask each and every one of you to celebrate yourselves today. Do something, anything, that will put a smile on your face. Listen to your favorite song. Play a game. Whatever.

What did I do? I went out today and sang loudly (pretty loud, actually) on the street. That’s not the proper thing to do in South Korea (or anywhere that I can think of really), but I just couldn’t help myself. I was filled with life, and I just had to express it in song. I chose to sing Rob Thomas’ “Little Wonders”. The words just seem to hit home to me today.

As for birthdays, a birthday is a day when we should be celebrating our existence. My daughter certainly is. Kids are happy to be alive. They are carefree. But as adults, we tend to not care so much about our birthdays. We think we are just “getting old”. We can’t do much about getting older, but we can control how we get older. Shall we fight against the inevitable or celebrate the passage of time?

But birthday or no birthday, our existence is worth a celebration. Do something today to make you happy. And after you do it, please let me know (hey, I told you what I did). I’d love to hear about it. Leave a comment below.
