Why Every Birthday Is Special and Deserves Celebration
Each year, everyone has one special day where they’re showered with gifts, cards, and posts of appreciation. Children look forward to this day as they anticipate presents, cakes, and a party. As we grow older, life gets busy, and the magic of the day sometimes dwindles. But the day is no less special.
Of course, I’m talking about birthdays. They mark the start of someone’s life and everything a person has achieved since then. Everyone has one, and everyone deserves the celebration.
I often urge our community to connect with and celebrate the people important in our lives. If you’re ever wondering how and when to get started, someone’s birthday is a great place to begin. The fact is, every birthday is special, whether the birthday boy or girl is turning eight or 80. Birthdays are an opportunity to connect with the people in our lives and reflect on accomplishments, learnings, and memories.
When we think back to our own birthdays, we remember who we were with and how we felt in those cherished moments. This special day often gives us memories to reflect on during the other 364 days of the year.

Introducing Our Celebrations Community
It goes without saying that making the most of special occasions adds joy to our lives. From birthday parties and graduations to weddings and retirements, celebrations give us an opportunity to engage with people while uniting us through common experiences.
But making the most of celebrations is easier said than done. That’s why the 1-800-Flowers.com family of brands recently expanded?Connection Communities ?— its online peer-to-peer support portal for life events — to include a?Celebrations Community .
The?Celebrations Community ?is built on the feeling of connection and enthusiasm that comes with these experiences. It offers guidance for all of life's celebratory moments — whether you're planning a birthday party, hosting special guests, or welcoming a baby.
Functioning as a support network to engage with like-minded people, the?Celebrations Community ?offers tips and a whole lot of inspiration. Questions are answered by people who have experienced similar challenges and can offer advice. The goal of the community is to create a sense of belonging, encourage us to go outside our comfort zone, and have fun along the way. Read more about it?here .

2 年Jim McCann I am so glad that you wrote this article! Birthdays ARE important and the MOST simple of ways to start connecting again. Most people enjoy that someone is celebrating them even in the simplest ways. Send a gift basket, send a card, take a cupcake, my daughter scheduled a curbside pickup at a local grocery store for me that INCLUDED cinnamon rolls. There are ways and let me tell you whatever you do, it will be loved, so just do it. Please! Cheers, Kay Kepley www.resonancecards.com
