10 Gifts of the Season: Day 8- Celebrate
"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.
Happy Wednesday loves! As I was reflecting on this eighth day, I couldn't help but think of celebrating. To 'celebrate' means to "observe or commemorate with ceremonies, to proclaim, to praise, and to perform with appropriate rites." As awake and aware beings, we have a responsibility to celebrate the extraordinary task of living on this Earth. Out of the simplicity of our experiences, we make meaning and connection. What a feat to be alive at such a time.
As you notice this season of your life, have you been celebrating? Right now, can you squeal with delight for the blessings of this day, of this very second? I just returned home from a professional training that continually challenges me to get in touch with my ability to celebrate the journey. One of my instructors asked us to become aware of our ability to celebrate. In order to do this, we must become observers of our relationship with celebrating. Do you only reserve celebrating for special occasions, or is everyday an opportunity to offer praise?
It's easy to celebrate when life is sweet and full of blessings, but it becomes even more monumental when we are able to celebrate the rites and rituals of life. From the visceral reactions of fear to the depths of sadness. From the ultimate joys of love to the towering serenity of peace. All emotions become a solid territory upon which to celebrate.
As I reflect on celebration it comes to mean something very individual to the observer. Celebrations occur in the tender moments of our lives. These are the moments when we reclaim our hearts. These are the moments when we tap into the limitless ceremonies of gratitude.
May this day inspire you to celebrate and honor the seasons of your life!
May You Sweetly Seek:)
