Every Day Is A Birthday

What is a dessert but a hug to yourself?

After dinner tonight, I decided I wanted a chocolate cake.

Not a slice of chocolate cake.

A chocolate cake.

There, I said it. And behold, we had a chocolate cake.

As we stood in front of a million cake choices at Whole Foods, I told Jay we could consider the purchase an early birthday celebration.

“Every day should be your birthday,” I said.

“I just like how you said that with such conviction,” he replied.

“Why not? Isn’t that what a dessert is? Every time we have dessert, we are giving ourselves a hug and saying, ‘Happy Birthday to me!’”

And so, like a strung out cake-oholic, I started singing “Happy Birthday To Me” loudly in the car as we transported the cake home. Jay joined me. It was a good birthday.

You there!

Yes, you.

You look like you need a hug.

You know what to do.
