While we read...

so much about each day being a celebration of life, I've often wondered how this could be seeing as the celebration quite often changes form, and life becomes most un-celebration like.

This morning when sending a writer a 'Cheers' note because I saw that the story she had worked on (and I had QCed), featured as the first one of the day, she wrote back sounding so happy...and then it hit me...

We need to consciously think of something that we can celebrate - anything - it need not be big; it can be quite mundane, or small, or insignificant, or a 'usual' thing.......... but it has to be something you've consciously noticed....

and then you need to celebrate that....with anything - could be an extra cup of (forbidden) coffee, 'hookie-time', curling up and dreaming/reading, when you're supposed to be at something else...walking around the block, watering the plants, relishing a chocolate. Could be..... whatever....anything.....

I do believe the day will feel different...kind of celebratory....kind of nice.......
