As I get older, birthdays have evolved to something different. No longer am I looking forward to the presents, though I wouldn’t turn on down. I look more to what can I do for me. How can I make myself happier, more content. I received a nice email from , wishing me happy birthday with their auto email. It had a great message that I’d love to share.
“What matters most in life is often viewed as peripheral to the things that we usually focus on. Passion takes backseat to production, wellness to working, and balance to busyness. The old adage that “life is not a dress rehearsal” is so true, and yet we act the the contrary by putting off what is truly important or indulging in things that are not.

Spend more time with family and friends, take care of your body and your health by eating well and exercising regularly, and offer to help those in need. Discover what matters most to you, and make your daily life into a true reflection of those ideas, beliefs, and attitudes.”

Refined flour products taste dull and bland to me now. If you’ve been thinking of making a similar change or giving up sweets or reducing fat in your diet, you can do it. And believe me, the day will come when you don’t miss it.
