so bring your good times, and your laughter too

I found this little entry in another blog- around these parts. I thought it was pretty fun. I'm one who is all for celebrating life. But in between the promotions, new jobs, friends visiting, weddings, and travel- there are so many smaller things that might merit a little fiesta of their own. Personally, I like to dance around the house singing... I don't think my roommates like it as much, but hey, they rejoice their way, and I mine. No judgements : )

Try this: It is easier for many of us to focus on our defeats than on our victories. We seldom celebrate the many milestones that we could. Focused on product, we ignore the process of our art. This tool asks you to celebrate your life in process. Take pen in hand and complete the following phrase as rapidly as possible:

1. If I let myself, I could celebrate_______________________.
2. If I let myself, I could celebrate_______________________.
3. If I let myself, I could celebrate_______________________.
4. If I let myself, I could celebrate_______________________.
5. If I let myself, I could celebrate_______________________.

A sense of celebration brings life joy and succulence. We are intended to enjoy the good things of this earth, including our own endeavors.

So these were my spur-of-the-moment answers. I had 7- I'm an over-achiever. : )

1. getting a proper nights sleep
2. getting to work on time
3. a fabulous evening with friends
4. cleaning my house
5. my brother returning my e-mails
6. a day without conflicts
7. not burning a meal

What would you celebrate? If you want, I'll be your back-up singer.
