Remember the “Merry Unbirthday” song from the Disney animated film Alice in Wonderland?  I always loved that one, as it celebrates each one of us all the time.

There’s a reason to celebrate our existence every day.  It’s amazing that we are alive and kicking (or at least ticking).  We are so fortunate to be here, with our families, friends and neighbors.  Thank God we’re together again today.

The song says we have only one birthday each year, and that’s not enough.  There are 364 “unbirthdays” that go unappreciated.  Let’s change that!

So–happy, merry not-your-birthday, but glad you’re born, today and every day!
