Celebrations are quite different this year – whether it’s birthdays, holidays, graduations, weddings, anniversaries… It got me pondering – “Why do we celebrate special occasions in the first place?” It’s an opportunity for us to be grateful for what we have or what we’ve achieved. Also, an opportunity to rejoice & share our happiness with loved ones. Come to think of it, life itself is already worth celebrating! Every day we’re here on earth, living is a gift in itself. The good & bad, ups & downs, joys & heartaches are all wrapped in the gift of life. All of it is what makes life - life. Yes – everyday may be simple, ordinary, or even repetitive. But it doesn’t mean it can’t be sprinkled with moments of joy, meaning, and love. Somewhere along the way, we might have lost some of our ability to be happy. When we were a kid, we celebrate just because we got to eat our favorite ice-cream! Perhaps we need to let go some of the extra baggage we’ve been carrying on our journey. Let us all learn to find creative ways to connect with our loved ones, to show appreciations to everyone in big or small ways, and add a bit of fun & excitement to those ordinary moments – dance a little, sing a little, and laugh a whole lot! We’re simply thankful you’re here on this journey with us. We hope you stay well & please take care~ - Celebrate Life -
