Birthdays Are A Time To
Celebrate Accomplishments!
Today is my birthday...
...And yesterday, I was perusing through my streaming music service, and I realized that there were no birthday songs available with my name, so, I started wondering about the reason behind only celebrating the anniversary of the day that we were born, rather than celebrating what we have accomplished on the anniversary of the day that we were born...
...What I mean by that is this: just because you are one year older, does not really say anything about who you are—or what you have accomplished—now that you are one year older. Therefore, I feel that birthdays are a time to celebrate accomplishments on the anniversary of being one year older, and not simply a time to only celebrate being one year older!

My Philosophical Notes:
The reason that I wrote this prose can be summed up with the following statement: I feel that birthdays are a time to celebrate accomplishments on the anniversary of being one year older, and not simply a time to only celebrate being one year older!
And this poem was also published on my "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blog (please see the hyperlink below for the blog), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message that I am trying to convey through "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."
