When Is Your Half Birthday?

I was trying to decide, when I should start My Dreams, Wishes And Desires. I wanted its beginning to have meaning. What date should I start this blog? I started A Very Sweet Blog on New Year's Day back in 2012. So I thought and pondered. I remember receiving an email from a local radio station years ago. The email had a picture of a half-eaten frosted chocolate layer cake on it and the heading of the email exclaimed "Today Is Your Half Birthday". The email made me smile, because I had never heard of Half Birthdays (let alone celebrate one). I found the whole idea to be very interesting. Have you heard about Half Birthdays? Do you celebrate them? Simply put, Half Birthdays are the halfway mark (in a calendar year) to your actual birthday. I love the idea, because it gives me another reason to eat cake. I especially love birthday cake. Birthday cake with lots of frosting. I'm a frosting girl. So I looked at the calendar and said, I will start this blog August 20th, because it is my Half Birthday. It's interesting that I started A Very Sweet Blog in 2012 and My Dreams, Wishes And Desires in 2021. What an interesting play on numbers. Life is truly amazing. This makes both blogs really special to me. At the very bottom of this post is a picture of the chocolate cake the radio station emailed me. They sent it to me again this year. HaHaHa I went to a restaurant here in New Orleans called Landry's and they had the most delicious chocolate cake. It had layers of both dark and white chocolate. Just absolutely delightful. I took a picture of it and thought it would be perfect for this post. Prettier and more befitting. I think I'm going to start celebrating my Half Birthday. Nothing big. Nothing fancy. No gifts. Maybe do just a little something special to recognize my halfway point to the next year of my life. I think it would be fun. Is this something you would consider? Is it something you would do? When is your Half Birthday? Do you know? You don't? Well you must know! If you type 'Half Birthday Calculator' in search, a number of birthday calculators will show up. Input your real birthday and it will calculate your Half Birthday.
