Description

Quite recently, I celebrated a birthday and I chose to do it my way. I did not check my blood pressure on my natal day. I scrupulously avoided the scale. I didn't even peek at my fit band. Nor did I record the caloric intact of my food. I purposely neglected to document the sodium, sugar, carbs and fat in any of my birthday feasts. I refused to listen to the gloom and doom on TV for 24 hours I did not peek at the NYT, NY Post or the esteemed World Street Journal, I studiously ignored every notification alert that appeared on my Ipad My hourly bil·let-doux from both Joe Biden and Donald Trump went side by side into the trash bin I didn't give a random thought to Covid, the flu or the possibility of a tornado. I didn't check the weather to see if rain, snow or dense fog was predicted. I temporarily purged sorrow from my consciousness and I opted not to worry for 24 hours I chose to shield my day from undue anxiety, and guess what, I survived. I know I cannot be so self-indulgent for another 365 days, but meanwhile I had such an amazing birthday that I wholeheartedly recommend celebrating yours in the same unorthodox manner But only to those not faint of heart because it did take courage.
