Why CAN’T we celebrate every single day?
Comments (0) The other day I made a wish on a candle with my nephew. When I asked him what he wished for, he replied ‘I wished that we could have a celebration!’ Now, my nephew didn’t necessarily have anything in particular in mind: it wasn’t someone’s birthday, we weren’t planning a party; we just felt like making a wish before we blew out a candle.
It got me thinking: why NOT celebrate every day. People talk about enjoying the small pleasures in life, and how these can increase our day to day levels of happiness. Things like a good cup of coffee, making a great point at a meeting, coming up with a good idea that’s well received at work, or cooking a really tasty meal for loved ones are all reasons to celebrate, not only life and a great moment in our days, but celebrate ourselves and all of the richness we have in our lives, much of which we have cultivated…Now, if only I could think (and make playtime!) like a four-year old more often…
