Each year, as we add another candle to the cake, we're gently reminded of the fleeting nature of time. They mark more than just age, they highlight growth, change, memories, and the moments that have shaped us. It's a pause in the busy flow of life to reflect on where we've been, who we've become, and the journey still ahead. With every celebration comes reflection that is the laughter shared, the lessons learned, the people we have met, and the ones we have lost. It's a chance to pause and look both backwards and forward, honoring the journey so far and embracing the path ahead. In the rush of everyday life, birthdays offer a moment of stillness, a quiet reminder to be present, to be grateful, and to make each year count.
