One day during the month of February I will have a birthday. The specific day doesn’t matter. I decided at around 
the age of 28 that the whole month is mine – at least that’s how I feel. I’m nestled in among some wonderful things here in the month of February. Valentine’s Day – the day of romance. But for half of the month there are hearts (and lots of chocolate) and pretty pink/red/white/gold things, and (lots of chocolates) and beautiful bouquets of flowers everywhere (and lots of chocolate) celebrating in advance the coming of the day of love. Not bad for starters.
And of course February is also the month where two of the most famous presidents of the
United States were 
born. Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. In addition Thomas Edison, Charles Darwin, Jules Vern, Babe Ruth (hey, I like baseball), Susan B. Anthony, Michael Jordan (naturally I’d include the best basketball player ever), Steven Jobs (one of the geniuses of our generation), Victor Hugo (les miserables), John Steinbeck, and Mario Andretti (I love racing cars), were all born in the month of February. There are many more I just decided to illustrate a few. So not only was I born in a month filled with love but I was also born with very distinguished birthday associates.
On another historical note Dutch Bros. Coffee is a privately owned coffee chain headquartered in Oregon (my
home state) It is this country’s largest privately held, drive-through coffee chain. The note of import here: They were founded in February 1992!
Finally and for toppers. February is the shortest month of the year and sometimes even shorter than others. So if you’re waiting for a paycheck the wait is much shorter in the month of February.
So then to tie the whole thing up in a nice little present like package:
I celebrate my birthday with famous and distinguished individuals, have lots of love and get paid quicker!
It just doesn’t get any better than that. Oh, and my birthstone is Amethyst, and yes I am an Aquarius, actually should have included that in the above paragraph because everyone knows it is the age of Aquarius (the next several thousand years actually in terms of planet alignment and stuff like that of which I actually know diddle about but since it’s my month I decided to include it).
So if you would like to, you may wish me a happy “birth-month” as I lay claim to all 28 (this year) days of February!
Thank you for the visit, hope you enjoy a little fun and whimsy. Good for the soul!

The Why About This 
Okay so if you’re an Aquarian, then the limit for your birthday is in the next couple of days so if I say Happy Birthday now, I should be about right.
Happy birthday Penny, hope you have / have had a good day
i feel exactly the same way about October too!! happy birthday Penny!!!
Excellent- good for you! And thank you Rhey! 🙂
Fantastic 🙂 never thought of laying claim to a birth month. Tho I guess I do in a smaller way. Ugh February and Aquarians lol … Some of my best friends birth month .. And an ex husband and two other exes .. All the same day mind you … Have an awesome month with LOADS of chocolate 🙂
Thank you Jenn. Wow all on the same day … the mind boggles! I will indeed have the best month possible, thank you so much for stopping by, very much appreciated by me! 🙂

Happy birthday month Penny. I shall dedicate my music of the day to you today if I can get the time to post anything. Did I tell you my day has been hell so far? (That was a trick one I know I did 😉 )
My daughter was doing a John Steinbeck book at school and it’s the one I did as well. “Here mousy mousy mousy”
The title taken from Robert Burns’ brilliant To A Mouse, as I am sure you are well aware.
I didn’t know that. Was a long time ago I did it.
Thank you Alastair, I’ve had a busy day but I will get over there to view it, thank you so very much! 🙂
You’re welcome 🙂
Happy Birthday Penny! You deserve a whole month! Hugs – B
Thank you Barb, don’t know about the deserving part but it is a fun month, again my thanks dear friend of mine, hugs to you also, Penny

Hahahaa my daughters celebrate the whole month of theirs as well they always have. But for you my friend
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! LYa
Thank you my very dear friend. Your daughters are wise (like mommy). Much love and hugs, 🙂 xx
Happy Birthday month Penny! I actually do the same thing come July, have for years. I think it is important for us to celebrate that we are here and in my book, that just takes the whole damn month to do! Places to go, things to do, stuff to eat, just can’t get it all done in a day. Enjoy February, I for one am glad you were born and I enjoy your blog very much! Cheers.
Thank you so very much. I will follow your sage and excellent advice and make this the best birthday month ever! And thanks for the nice compliment!
Happy Birthday Month!!! I’ve been celebrating a full birthday week for the last couple of years but I think I like your idea better
Thanks, go for it, a feel good feeling for sure my friend!
I wish you happy birthday in advance my dear Penny 🙂 Have a good day
Thank Gys so very much, I will indeed have a great birthday! 🙂
Happy Birthmonth! What a great month to have a birthday.
Hey–I was going to say that…
Thanks Alice, I think I am most lucky to have a birthday in February!
Thanks, at least I think so, although I didn’t have any say in the matter, I think it worked out quite well! LOL
Happy birthday, my best wishes! Keep us inspired everyday, have a wonderful Friday!
Thank you so very much Ruby, I will do my very best!
Happy Birthday dear Penny.
Hugs,
mei
