I can certainly attest to that, at least when it comes to celebrating a birthday. Having just turned 59 (gasp!) about a month ago, I can tell you that being the birthday boy is still a great feeling. On that big day, it should be all about oneself\u2026and why not? This is the day when I can and should feel that there\u2019s something special going on and not be criticized for feeling that way. I can revel in all of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/birthday-cards\/collection\/\">birthday cards<\/a><\/strong> I receive and enjoy all of the attention I get. More importantly, I can feel like a child again without the guilt.<\/p>\n<p>As a perk, some companies give an employee a paid day off on his or her birthday. Where I work, I wouldn\u2019t even think of taking a vacation day on my birthday. My coworkers shower me with cards, good wishes, a cake and a \u201chappy birthday to you\u201d serenade. Even the head honchos of the company come over and offer a birthday handshake along with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/birthday-cards\/business-birthday-cards\/\">company birthday cards<\/a><\/strong> personally signed by each of them. After the workday is over I head home, where I am again presented with more birthday cards, gifts, a special dinner, more singing and all the attention a birthday boy deserves.<\/p>\n<p>And you know what? I love it all, even at this age, which is why I\u2019m actually looking forward to turning the big 6-0 next year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"They say men aren\u2019t really adults but just older boys who never grow up.
