So many bad things have happened in my life on my birthday so I don't bother to celebrate the occasion anymore. Christmas has become my new birthday cause it's so close to my daughter's birthday. We share a birthday celebration these days. It's not my birthday this month or anything. But, earlier I was thinking about birthdays and bad luck for some reason. This past year, my computer crashed and my car broke down during my birthday week. Then, my best friend got really sick and had to go into the hospital. And, to make matters worse, my spouse got cut from his job! That was a really bad birthday. But, it was ages ago, all is restored now. My birthday is less than three months away so I am bracing myself for some more bad luck. I can only imagine what fate has in store for me. With all my bad luck, I have never been broken up with on my birthday. I guess I'm lucky! If you can call it luck. I guess if he can put up with me for the other 364 days of the year, then why would he pick that day to leave. Do you think a spouse would leave on a birthday like that? Has that happened to anyone else? I was just wondering if anyone has ever had a boyfriend or girlfriend or spouse break up with them on their birthday or anniversary. Did they wait until after the birthday or anniversary celebration to tell you they were leaving? Do you know if this has happened to anyone else? Do you think I should be prepared, just in case?

When I was young, we were told all the bad things we did all the year at Christmas. So I guessed that was the reason I was not getting the horse again. As for my birthday, the bad things that happened was it coincided with car insurance time and the weather was so bad. Besides this, there has never been any bad things happen except for worrying that I should have gotten something for them on their birthday and whether we could afford to go out for dinner again this year. However with your bad luck, I think you should be prepared.

I am crossing my fingers and tossing a pinch of salt over my shoulder for good luck. Think happy thoughts for me! Maybe that will work. Perhaps we can organize a happy thought brigade for me, then all will surely go well this next birthday. That's just my superstitious side rearing it's head again!

I take each day as it comes. Something bad can happen on any given day. But, there are good things too.

I don't know of anyone this has happened to on their birthday or anniversary. I just want to encourage you to think positive as you approach your birthday. The last month or so, just think about having a great birthday week. There is no reason a birthday week should be bad. So, here's hoping you have the best birthday week you've had in a long time.
