Happy birthday to me!

It's my birthday! Happy birthday to me! But wait! Before you wish me a happy birthday, you have a mission:
I need your help celebrating my birthday. I need you to go into your day with a curious mind, and the intent to do something that gives you pleasure and/or joy, something that makes you laugh, maybe something that scares you a little but makes you happier for having done it. It doesn't have to be big! It could be watching a funny video on youtube, or stopping to smell flowers while you walk around your neighborhood, or taking a bus to a part of town you've never visited. Or it can be huge! It could be telling someone you love them with no expectation of reciprocation, or jumping off the high dive for the first time, or letting yourself love yourself.
Then, once you've done that, you can come back here and wish me a happy birthday, and if you want to tell me about how you treated yourself right today, I'd love to hear that, too.

Today I did my first "school supplies for donation" run, which makes me happy. I'm going to further celebrate your birthday by doing something fun I want to do, with my bit of quiet time, rather than doing something dull that I feel should be done.
