anytime i am confronted w a large body of water i instantly turn so introspective and appreciative of my life... if u can visit the beach (even if its cold) or ride the ferry or cross the bridge or visit a park near one of the rivers and just spend some time there i think it could be a really soul enriching thing to do for free/cheap on your bday!! u can do this alone or w company. happy almost bday!!
It really tingles the brain when you read a good story. I like short stories, memoirs and surrealism. and science fiction.
