Have another birthday coming? Then celebrate it with joy! You may not always see the glow of your birthday cake, candle by candle, as a good thing. You may wonder where the years have gone or why they seem to melt one into another. The fact is that every birthday you have becomes a wonderful opportunity to take a personal inventory and remind yourself of all that you’ve accomplished and all the dreams that still lie ahead that can be realized! You’ve got a lot of fire in you creating a greater flame than all your candles added together. Need a few fabulous birthday thoughts for inspiration? Here are some of our favorites:
