MY BIRTHDAY #32 🎂🥳🎉

This year, I have been EMBRACING my birthday in all the selfish ways! 😂 From taking my this morning getting up, to eating a "not so healthy" breakfast because I wanted to and it was yummy to jamming, singing and dancing my little heart out to Michael Jackson as I took my time getting ready, today is all about ME! 😁 I'm feeling grateful for all the sweet and lovely texts and birthday wishes from my family. I'm excited because I'm going to an Escape Room tonight and I'm a nerd who LOVES escape rooms, puzzles, riddles, etc. It's also "Halloween/Witchy" themed which is right up my alley! I'm just allowing myself to be HAPPY to be alive and accepting all the things that make me ME. And it feels good. 😊

My Birthday Dedication SONGS this year are ones that makes me HAPPY (and are very on brand for ya girl 😉)! That make me feel ALIVE! They are bright, uplifting, positive, good-vibes only type songs that make you wanna dance and feel excited about life! Which is how I WANT to feel, especially today! So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! 🎂🥳 LET'S DANCE!! 💃

BIRTHDAY PARTY SONG #1: BRAND NEW DAY! 

From The Wiz 😁 This song came to me while I was out on my morning walk. I always like to think of my birthday as a fresh start and a BRAND NEW DAY! It was a lovely experience walking outside one a beautiful day, listening to such uplifting music and feeling it inspire me from my head to my feet. 

"Can't you feel a BRAND NEW DAY?" 

Everybody look around

'Cause there's a reason to rejoice, you see

(Everybody come out)

(And let's commence to singing joyfully)

Everybody look up

And feel the hope that we've been waiting on

(Everybody is glad)

(Because our silent fear and dread is gone)

Freedom, you see

Has got our hearts singing so joyfully

(Just look about)

(You owe it to yourself to check it out)

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Everybody be glad

Because the sun is shining just for us

Everybody wake up

Into the morning, into happiness

Hello world!

It's like a different way of living, now

(And thank you, world)

We always knew that we'd be free somehow

In harmony

Let's show the world that we've got liberty

It's such a change

For us to live so independently

Freedom, you see

Has got our hearts singing so joyfully

Just look about

You owe it to yourself to check it out

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Everybody be glad (Be glad)

Because the sun is shining just for us (Yes, it is)

Everybody wake up (Wake up)

Into the morning, into happiness (That's right)

Hello world!

It's like a different way of living, now

(Thank you, world)

We always knew that we'd be free somehow

In harmony

Let's show the world that we've got liberty

It's such a change

For us to live so independently

Freedom, you see

Has got our hearts singing so joyfully

Just look about

You owe it to yourself to check it out

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Brand new day, brand new day

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Brand new day, brand new day

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Brand new day

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Brand new day, brand new day

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Brand new day, brand new day

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Oh-oh-oh, can't you feel a brand new day?

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Oh-oh-oh, can't you feel a brand new day?

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Oh-oh-oh, can't you feel a brand new day?

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Oh-oh-oh, can't you feel a brand new day?

Can't you, can't you?

Feel a, can't you feel a?

Can't you, can't you?

Feel a, can't you feel a?

BIRTHDAY PARTY SONG #2: EASE ON DOWN THE ROAD! 

Also from The Wiz (I watched this movie a few weeks back in honor of Michael Jackson's birthday/month 😂🥳), the songs lyrics speak to me of always moving forward, despite life's many ups and downs. And the enthusiasm of the song makes me wanna dance and keep right one "easing down the road" of life with joy and passion! 

Come on and ease on down, ease on down the road

Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road

Don't you carry nothing that might be a load

Come on, ease on down, ease on down, down the road

Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road

Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road

Don't you carry nothing that might be a load

Come on, ease on down, ease on down, down the road

Pick your left foot up when your right foot's down

(Come on, legs keep movin', don't you lose no ground)

You just keep on keepin' on the road that you choose

Don't you give up walkin' 'cause you gave up shoes, no

Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road

Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road

Don't you carry nothing that might be a load

Come on, ease on down, ease on down, down the road

'Cause there may be times when you think you lost your mind

(And the steps you're takin' leave you three, four steps behind)

But the road you're walking might be long sometimes

You just keep on steppin' and you'll be just fine, yeah

Ease on down, ease on down the road

Ease on down, ease on down the road

Don't you carry nothing that might be a load

Come on, ease on down, ease on down, down the...

Oh, there may be times when you wish you wasn't born

(And you wake one morning just to find that your courage's gone)

But just know that feeling only lasts a little while

You just stick with us and we'll show you how to smile, yeah

Get 'em up, goin' down, ease on down

Get 'em up, goin' down, ease on down

Get 'em up, goin' down, ease on down

Get 'em up, get 'em up, ease on down the road

BIRTHDAY PARTY SONG #3: JUMP FOR JOY! 

This song makes me SO insanely happy it's crazy! It never fails to brighten my day and put me in the BEST mood! It's pure, happy, feel-good music and it's just what I needed today!

People have misunderstandings

Of what life is all about

They put values on the wrong things

And in happiness they lose out

Cause being happy's a feeling

It's all a frame of mind

And every moment you feel sad and blue

You could be having a real good time

Why don't you jump for joy and be happy

Why don't you jump for joy and be glad

If you just try it, you'll feel better

And have the best time you've ever had

There is no sense in worrying

Cause that won't solve a thing

Chances are whatever's worrying you

Is not as bad as it seems

Being down won't last forever

Cause nothing stays the same

You will will have a bright tomorrow

There's always sunshine after rain

Why don't you jump for joy and be happy

Why don't you jump for joy and be glad

If you just try it, you'll feel better

And have the best time you've ever had

Well, it's time for me to go PARTY for the rest of my day! As always, I'm hoping for a better ME in my personal "New Year." I feel like 32 could be a lucky number for me...this could be MY year! My new beginning in life. We shall see. I haven't been too successful in the past so I'm not going to put pressure on myself by writing up a bunch of flowery aspirations and hopes and dreams as I typically do. Not that I think there's anything wrong with that but as of right now, I'm just feelin' like...I am who I am! I can change, I don't have to change, it's all up to me. One thing I do wish for myself this year though is to EMBRACE. Embrace myself wholly and completely, warts and all! I don't want to feel ashamed, embarrassed or weird for my interests, hobbies, likes, etc. I want o be like "Yeah, I love that! Is that a problem? No!" 😅 We shall see what this year has in store...

32 - DAY ONE! ✨🔥🌻💃🥳🎉

HERE'S TO ME!

I'M IN MY PRIME!  

32 LOOKS GOOD ON YOU! #PYT😉💋

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL! 🥳🎂🎉
