Did you ever wake up on your birthday and feel depressed about getting older or reaching a milestone that you thought wouldn’t come about for a long time? I guess we could put a name on a birthday and call it reality. As we awaken to the day’s celebration, we begin to realize that it just might be a great day we can be thankful for. Most of us would love to have a day off from work to do our own thing to make the day feel worthy. The feat of making it to another healthy year is more than special. But, reality strikes, and we find that your business office is waiting for you.
Upon arrival, you discover that your home away from home, where we spend most of our time, has become your place of celebration. Our friends greet us with special treats, maybe a birthday cake and a birthday card signed by all of our coworkers. What a special feeling to find unique birthday cards, even signed by the President of the company too! Another successful, healthy, happy year and a day of happy memories!
Everything you write about is true! I always look forward to spending my birthday with my coworkers who make me feel special on my big day. Unfortunately, this year we had a snowstorm in our area and our office was closed. Since I am one of the people in our office who is able to work from home, I did so — but all by myself, of course, rather than surrounded by well wishers. But all turned out okay since the next time at work I received my annual birthday card from the bosses and others as well as verbal birthday wishes from everyone. Turned out nice again!
I, too, am glad to share my birthday with my office family. What a nice surprise it is, always, to see my desk decorated with many lovely cards on that special day.
