Birthday

So it's my birthday and my horoscope is as follows:

Doing a job properly takes more than hard work and concentration now, for you could also be required to juggle several balls in the air. Flexibility doesn't always come easily to you, but now it's the thing that will do you the most good. You may have to alter your plans and adapt to unexpected conditions on the job. Keep in mind that any task you start is likely to take more time than you planned. Smart thinking will get you further than extra effort.

And after reading this, I'm thinking.... what makes this different than any other day?

Happy birthday.

There are recipes for, say, cookies, that require you to set a timer and once it dings you go turn the pan in the oven. I view birthdays as a ding telling me to turn the pan.

Hope yours is a good 'un.
