Happy Birthday!! I hope you did something nice for yourself to celebrate.

No friends or family called me on my birthday this year. I was sad about it. I understand how you feel.

This year is a bad year for birthdays and just about any other celebration.

Did you used to celebrate your birthday in the past? If yes, can you think of some plans for celebrating in the future?

For example, I knew someone who used to put together her own party and invite several people out. She would also give out little party favors. I’m giving some thought to throwing myself a little party next year... provided we aren’t still on lockdown...

Is there anything at all you could plan for yourself next year? It could be something as simple as inviting a couple people over for a small cookout and listen to some music. Even if the people are just acquaintances... I am usually flattered to be invited to an event if if I don’t know the person very well.
