Birthday months and Bubby boys

So...it is, once again, my BIRTHDAY MONTH!

I would think that by now, most of y'all would understand the theory and application of birthday month, so I won't go into it again...

but ...

IT
IS
MY
BIRTH
DAY
MONTH!

And having had to get up for some reason in the middle of the night, this year's birthday month was claimed a mere minutes after the clock passed midnight...hehe.  Gotta call it to start it, so I did.

Goofy wasn't too happy to be awakened to "IT'S MY BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!! Bwahahahaha...only lost 7 minutes of birthday monthitude!!!! " being shouted at just after 12am on April 1, but she survived....after she said, "for crying out loud (or something like that)...it's the middle of the night!  go to SLEEP! "  hehe.

This year's fabulous Springtime Festivities started out with tribute to Magic in the form of a box of blue marshmallow bunnehs!  They weren't quite "ready' - needed to be exposed to the fresh air of the world  - in order to be a bit stale for the peeps enthusiast, there is no other way to have them you see...  ;)  But..they were perfect and blue, and well...peeps!

This got me to thinking...why haven't we instituted the "give magic a present on every day of birthday month"?  I think that this precedent setting gift...tribute to the very idea of magic and birthdays and months of celebration and praise...did exactly that.

The very next day, more tribute from friends that we joined for dinner in Kirkland...I was quite happy and touched with this sudden realization that Magic's birthday month brought out this recognition of the greatness of the month of the birth of MAGIC!  So nice to make so many people so happy just by being MEEEE.  :D  It's a responsibility, but hey! I'm ok with it.

So far, there has been some gift every day...not necessarily in the common sense of gifts (although there have been those too), but gifts in the sense that I took the time to recognize the gifts that are around us everyday.

I knooooow...you are saying to yourself just about now..."Hey, Magic!  what gives?  where is this existential claptrap coming from? ".  And you'd be somewhat forgiven for having had that thought...but honestly, I've been looking for my "happy" every day for quite some time now.

Initially, it was less intentional...just trying to get past the everyday negative stuff that seems to swirl around these days, while maintaining some semblance of happiness...then, one day, it dawned on me that I didn't have to give into it.  So now...I LOOK for the happy...every day.

This isn't to say that some days it's just really hard to find a happy thing to recall about that particular day, but, honestly, in general, it isn't particularly hard at all.  :)

For instance, after the lovely bunnehs, I had a wonderful "happy" just this past Saturday when I got to spend some time with my smaller mini me (aka mini-mini me) when he ventured for the first time into a swimming pool.

He was cold, and he was a tiny bit tentative at first, but he stayed in there...getting his face wet, dunking a bit, and riding around on his mama without fear.  All in all, a very very good first time in the pool.  By the time we get to Maui, I expect he'll be a bit more comfortable in the water, and we'll be less concerned that he may get hurt.  ;)

On another note...I am wondering why my birthday isn't a national holiday yet?

I'm thinking that if enough of us just take the day off...Magic Day... then, eventually, it'll catch on.

This year, the actual day falls on a Monday, so even more reason to join the celebration and stay home!  Come on!  Show your appreciation and take the day off for Magic!  ;)

Has kinda a nice ring to it, dontcha think?  =P

Just sayin'

;)

Magic (well, and Goofy too...).
