Most years I throw myself a party and write a speech. The speech is often on the top ten questions people have asked me over the previous year. The yearly speech led to my blog. Another thing I often do on my birthday is start a new journal and write in it questions I have about unresolved things in my life at that moment. I try and write a question for every year of age (but that's getting harder to do). When I finish a journal, I go back to the first few pages and see if the questions have been answered. If you're 21 and need stuff like a car or a slow cooker or money, then it's good to get presents and cash, but sometimes a good present just looks like this.
