Celebrating Today!

Picture“If we are ever to enjoy life, now is the time, not tomorrow or next year…Today should always be our most wonderful day.” Thomas Dreier.
This past weekend was one of purging closets and cluttered up spaces; of unearthing treasures of days gone by.  I'm not sure how I've accumulated quite so much, but it felt amazing to lighten the load.  
 
I discovered that I have enough pumpkin flavored candles to satisfy my love of fall for the next 5 years!  I also ran across a box of scented soy candles that I had almost forgotten about.  I remember the day I  purchased them and while checking out convinced myself I should save them for a special occasion?  Well....now it just seems kinda silly that I saved them!  I unearthed a box of dishes and glassware from my grandparents auction, my grandmother's pearls, several gorgeous dresses that I had worn to special events, and my favorite pair of worn out tennis shoes. 

Sitting amidst the pile of my collection, my mind couldn't help but think of all the occasions I had been "saving up" for.  The boxes of life that lie tucked in the closets, waiting for the house I'd someday like to live in, or the echoes of practicality /necessity ringing through my mind.  (A Capricorn is all about practicality! lol) In the middle of this treasure trove, I began to giggle.  Laughing at the notion of "waiting" for a special day, or holding onto a particular item in the hopes that I would savor it "someday."  In the midst of all my memories and treasures, I decided that TODAY would be the perfect day to celebrate.  To break out the glassware, to wear my pearls, to snuggle in for the night with a blaze of candles, and to finally get rid of my tennis shoes.

Reflecting on this weekend, has made me very aware of living a conscious and creative life right NOW.  Light your candles, wear your party dresses, accessorize with pearls, recycle items that no longer support your life, eat off of your finest china, take a candle lit bubble bath, cherish everyone in your life, create peace with your actions, make a wish on a star, dance even if you are the only one, love with all of your heart! Truly live your life as a celebration and inspire others to do the same! 

Wishing you a glorious day of celebration!
May you Sweetly Seek
In Gratitude:)

oh my how this hits the nail right on the head....I have so many times said to myself..."This is such a beautiful gift, I shall save it for a perfect time to use it,wear it,share it.. And as time goes on, as it does, I rethought my thinking... I as you Sarah, now use those pretty china dishes form my grandmother, I wear that special jewelry, I use those beautiful quilts from my husband grandmother that she made, I get out that special tea party cups and saucers. And it brings such joy not only to me, but to the people that are sharing in it with me!!! So here's to sharing all the beautiful treasures that we have collected thru the years!!! Enjoy them all my dear friend!!!...xoxo
