Celebrating birth
It was my grandfather's birthday yesterday (10th April). He is 83 years old now! That's not bad going for someone who served in World War Two, who worked in very hazardous and life-threatening conditions in a chemical plant, and who had a heart bypass almost two decades ago.
I love my grandfather extremely much, and I'm sorry that I can't celebrate his birthday with him because he's on holiday in Australia.
Still. It's my best friend Steve's 31st birthday tomorrow! :D I'm going to help him celebrate that one, and I think we'll raise a toast for my grandfather too.
Aries people are famously hot-headed, and these two are no exception ;) But the good bits outweigh any bad, and that's what counts.
Whilst another birthday is for some something they'd rather forget, we must remember that it is just that: a *birth* day. Celebrating the day you came into being on this Earth, and being thankfull for your chance to be here.
If you believe in a Higher Being, in God, or you just believe in yourself, I'm sure you can appreciate the fact that ultimately life is a good thing, and we are lucky to have the chance :)

On his 83rd birthday, I meant. I'm old, I'm allowed to make mistakes.
