“You take away all the other luxuries in
life, and if you can make someone smile and laugh, you have given the most special
gift: happiness.”
~ Brad Garrett
I recently
received a text from a friend who was organizing a lunch for the birthday of a
mutual friend. Nothing major or
complicated, just lunch with a small group of women. It might not seem like a big deal, but given
the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, remembering the upcoming birthday and
reaching out to others with enough time doesn’t always happen. Some people don’t care about their
birthdays. (I even have a friend who
does not like to celebrate her birthday.)
But I know a whole bunch of people – including me! – who do. In fact, I count among my blessings a friend who
has been organizing a birthday lunch for me for years. For those of us who enjoy celebrating
birthdays, especially with friends we love and never see enough, the
birthday-organizing friend is a treasure!
