Celebrating Life

W and I were at my parents’ this weekend. We went down for a celebration of life for my great aunt. It made me wonder why we don’t celebrate life every day.

I’m the type of person that saves things for special occasions. I have a specialty hot chocolate mix sitting in my cupboard since last Christmas. Why I haven’t used it? I don’t know; maybe I haven’t felt a “worthy” enough day for it had come yet. Even as a kid I saved all of the stickers in my colouring books for a special day.

Everyday that you wake up is a day worth celebrating. The good days and the bad days. The bad days are probably more worth the celebrations because you made it through something that made you stronger.

Tomorrow is never guaranteed so celebrate today. Hold your loved ones close for longer, pull out the Fine China, drink the hot chocolate and use the stickers.
