Milestone Birthdays

It was recently my birthday. I turned 61. I'm not one of those people who tries to hide how old they are.  It made me think about turning 60 last year, and how we seem in general to consider 21, 30,40, 50, 60, 70, etc. milestone birthdays. In reality they are all milestone birthdays. Birthdays mark another year gone by, another year we survived all the things life has thrown at us whether a financial problem, an illness, a divorce, family worries, accidents, etc. But it also marks a year of the good things...good friends, wonderful family, vacations, fun evenings around a campfire making s'mores, the sound of your children's laughter, your grandsons baseball game. So although every year should be considered a milestone in our life, most of us refer to the milestone birthdays as those ending in a zero. Except for 21!
I have loved designing birthday invitations for kids. It led me to making a lot of birthday invitations for adults as well. At Peacock Cards we not only have birthday invitations but also milestone birthday mugs, T-shirts, bags, buttons, and other items. What fun it is to don a 60th birthday T-shirt the entire day of your birthday. In actuality you can wear it the entire year! Or how about a 40th birthday mug for that special person turning forty this year? Birthdays are a time to reflect, to celebrate, to kick back and have fun, to show that birthday boy or girl of any age you think they are the best!
