Celebrate Life!

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.(Oprah Winfrey)

Celebrate life!  Don’t let the moment pass without celebrating that special event, that special success, or that special milestone. Life should be full of celebrations of the big moments as well as the little moments of personal significance.

It’s so easy to get caught up in all ‘that’s not right’ in the world rather than what is right. It’s so easy to not see the forest for the trees. I use to watch the news but I rarely do these days. Some comic once quipped that the evening news always commences with ‘Good Evening’ and then the presenter proceeds to tell you why it’s not. So now I get my news over the internet and choose what news stories I read. Isn’t it better to do as Barbara Hoffman suggests?

Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and celebrate the journey!

In my mind there are lots of things that we can celebrate every day and maybe some of these you may already celebrate too.

Celebrate our families and the ones we love.

Celebrate good friendships and the joy of friends in our lives.

Celebrate the beautiful part of the world in which we live.

Celebrate the weather – how lucky are we to have warm, sunny weather most of the year?

Celebrate good health or the recovery to good health.

Celebrate our freedom and the lifestyle that we sometimes take for granted.

Celebrate this great School and all who share it with us.

Celebrate every blessing that comes our way.

Celebrate life!

 

Life is a celebration of awakenings, of new beginnings,
and wonderful surprises that enlighten the soul.
