6. 25 is a good age to stop and take stock of your life.
Personally, I like to do that at EVERY birthday. Make a point of doing something symbolic, that for you represents what you want to create in your next year.....even if it's just lighting a candle and speaking your intention.

Wishing you abundant birthday blessings, scarlet_owl!!

7. Thanks. I really have been thinking about my life lately
and how I'm getting older. There are some things I would really like to do differently. I feel like I'm officially a "grown up" now.

Please, whatever you do - don't spend the day bemoaning the fact that you are a quarter of a century old! You will be wasting time and irritating your future older self. :D

On my 25th birthday, I worked all day, then went to class and took a test. Because it was test night, we didn't have a full class and I was out of there by 7:00pm. My good friend Dawn and I went out to the Iron Horse in Crystal, MN, to hang out and see a band. It was fun!

What are your options for the day/evening?

12. I think I might go take a nap soon.
I'm still not sure what I'll be doing this evening, besides eating barbecue.

14. Eating barbecue prepared by your husband sounds pretty darn good.
:)

I didn't have a husband when I was 25, and that's why I had to wing it. ;)

11. Celebrate by promising yourself
that from this day on, you will live your life in a way that is pleasing to you. Be happy and don't let the fact that you're a "grown up" keep you from enjoying the fun things.

I'll be 25 next year, and I've decided that just because my age increases, doesn't mean my attitude has to become old. I'm going to enjoy life (responsibly of course) because I'm not guaranteed how long it will last!

20. Happy Birthday!
A quarter of a century behind you, and may you have a few quarter centuries ahead of you, filled with good health, love and joy, and whatever brings you peace of mind.
