Thanks to all of you!
I will think about some great ideas!
Once a month a day off - sounds very nice! I planned it, but it doesn't work. May be I'd write it in my schedule calender to make it "alive"!
Flowers for all of you back.
Comforting to read that more of you do it this way.
In the late evening my hubby mentioned that he also want this kind of birthday, an evenin only with me outside, it's before christmas and we can invite all the family for holy night as we did all years he said.

Barbel! Happy belated birthday.
We all need a "Mental Health Day" I do it once a month on my birth day (19). I don't think it is selfish at all. My husband thinks it's wonderful.
gives me a chance to refresh. I go and do what I want all day, and at night we go out to dinner. It is a nice treat.
many happy returns.
Sukiray.
I am so happy for you having a Relaxed Happy Birthday. Have many more Blessings!!! Hugs, Judy
Happy Birthday Bärbel; I hope your day was wonderful, and it does sound grand. You had a perfect 'vacation'.

Barbel, I always take my b'day off. Sometimes I forget its my birthday as does most others. hehehe...It's your birthday and you have a RIGHT to do it YOUR way. That is not being selfish at all... Especially when you do for others all the time... Good for you... Happy Birthday!
Bärbel, so glad to hear that you took time for you - for a change. Good for you.

Happy Birthday. We always celebrate our birthdays doing what we want to do. The only ones we really celebrate, are the grands. I guess when you are in your 60's and the kids are in late 30's and early 40's we and they don't want to be reminded of our age. It is just nice to go for a quiet dinner and enjoy a lovely evening with my husband.
Selfish. Absolutely not. I think it was the bestest birthday present that you can give to yourself. Remember what a wonderful day it was for you this year and do it again next year. HMMM, is it ok to do this for one day every month?
It is great to hear that you enjoyed yourself on your birthday. Belated greetings
