Do you like your birthday?

I took my birthday off facebook because I rarely use it and I don't like receiving floods of b-day messages from people I don't even talk to. I like to celebrate with my friends or family with dinner and cake or something, but I def wouldn't mind not doing anything either as it's not a super important day for me.
 
My birthday is this month and I'd say I'm looking forward to everything except the getting older part! I've a lot of little get togethers planned with people from different areas of my life. Dinner with the folks, spa trip with a friend, drinks with several different groups of colleagues (I have roles in multiple departments), the girl I'm seeing has talked about us doing something, etc. It is sweet when people make the effort to remember and want to celebrate with you.
 
My birthday is later this month, and I've typically enjoyed it. I like the time of year, when things are starting to warm and green up. It falls a week after Mother's Day, so my mom and I would combine the two and make it a girls' day, just the two of us each year.

This year is going to be tough, because she passed away last June, so it's the first year without her, but my friends and family are doing little things to help get me through the day. I'm sure I'll start to enjoy it again, at some point.
 
Birthdays used to be fun but now just feel like normal days. I don't like being the center of attention and the only thing I do now for it is go to the parties of my cousins who happen to share my date.
