When is your Happy Birthday?

As I sit here at home, with the tv on and the ceiling fan on high, I don't think I'll ever complain about the cold weather at home (in the US) ever again. LOL. Summer is starting and it's getting even hotter now.

I had a great day yesterday. First, I spent the first part of the day at Sephora Salon in Painjim...it was my lucky find, well, Sachin actually told me about it since it's accross the street from his office. First, I had a Moroccan bath, then a full body exfoliation, my hair washed, a complete body wash and body masque...had a break with some green tea and then had a full body aromatherapy massage...ahhh...it felt so good! A whole day's worth of luxury and relaxation for just about $100.00.

Later in the afternoon, I went with some friends to remote lake out in the jungle area. We jumped off the rocks, swam, etc. and had a great time, until a young boy who was walking by told us that the lake is full of crocodiles, large ones too! Needless to say, I decided to get out of the water. I don't think I'll be coming back to that lake in the future.

while getting my massage by a Thai woman, she asked me: "when is your happy birthday?" At first I thought it was cute, but I realized she is right. Every birthday is and should be a happy birthday. Why do we ask, when is your birthday? We should be asking, when is your happy birthday! I love it. As much as I don't want to get old and I cringe and my own age, each year of life is a happy event, one to be celebrated, so let's all have a happy birthday.
