Every day is an anniversary if you just change your perspective
For those whose birthday is today.
For those celebrating some kind of anniversary.
I'm sure everyone has something.
By the way, for me,
today is a day that is not an anniversary of anything.
When you stack up those ordinary days,
a year really goes by in the blink of an eye, doesn't it?
It's 2026,
I've already flipped one page of the calendar,
and before I knew it, a week had passed.
……Having said that,
my home calendar
still has the January page up (lol).
I could do it right away if I wanted to,
but if I start doing something else in the middle, I forget in a second.
"I'll do it later"
usually means I won't do it at all.
When you repeat such small tasks
and almost unconscious routines,
every day passes in the blink of an eye.
School and kindergarten events.
Birthdays, Christmas.
Throughout the year, "special days"
are properly prepared for us.
So, what about the other days?
Are the days with nothing written on the calendar
just "ordinary days"?
……As I write this,
it's getting a bit complicated (lol).
The other day, when my daughter, who loves Disney,
was watching "Alice in Wonderland".
I also used to like it for some reason,
and I heard that song I used to listen to often
for the first time in a while.
The song the Hatter sings. Those words.
"A very merry unbirthday to you♪"
By the way, the name of the song is
"The Unbirthday Song".
I actually quite like this one.
(That's just my personal preference, though.)
Only days when something big happens
are not the only special days.
The day my son was able to go to kindergarten with a smile this morning.
The day my daughter had a great conversation with her friends on the way home from school.
The day I finally flipped the calendar.
Even if they aren't too special,
they are all "days when something happened."
So,
you can just make up a reason like
"I did my best today too!"
and think "Congratulations" to yourself.
You don't have to have achieved anything.
You don't have to have any notable results.
If you spent today properly,
that is enough.
So,
everyone,
happy unbirthday to you♪
Prepare some sweets or a drink for yourself
for working hard all day,
or spend some time relaxing.
Giving yourself a reward like that
is one way to do it😊
