This past week, I celebrated a birthday (que Stevie…). I’m so excited about turning 48 and I’m grateful for this awesome life I am living! As I reflected on what I’m most grateful for, I realized that I could use more celebration in my life. As I examined what celebration means to me, it led me to gratitude. In fact, it’s hard for me to distinguish gratitude and celebration from each other; because the more I think about the things I’m grateful for, the more I want to celebrate.
I’m grateful that I was born to a wonderful and courageous mother; whose sacrifice to bring me life has brought me my greatest opportunity to express gratitude. This gift alone has grounded me with an understanding that love really is the greatest gift of all (que Whitney…). I’ve celebrated this gift by learning to enjoy and appreciate motherhood; which makes nurturing my children a very fulfilling experience.
I’m grateful for my husband; who has loved me through the good, bad, and ugly. His commitment to our family has stretched him wide open and yet he continues to provide a well of love so deep for us, we always feel his protection. This love, I celebrate daily and I look forward to the end of the day when I can snuggle up next to him and kiss his strong hands that provide a safe place for all of us to thrive.
Every day, I’m surrounded by family and close friends who demonstrate their love by investing their time and energy to our shared happiness. Not one day goes by that I am left to wonder who I am in their lives. I am grateful for these friendships and I celebrate them by offering prayers of protection, calling, writing, or sharing exchanges on social media.
I am enjoying this wonderful life I’ve been given and I know that God has provided ‘green pastures’ for me. My one wish for this next year is to celebrate the awesomeness in my life more often; which means to be so overcome with gratitude that I have to share the joy with another. I plan to do exactly that and in case you did not know, my one word for 2016 is ‘Fun’; because how can you celebrate without having fun?

Until next week,
YES…..Let’s Celebrate together! Thanks for this charge to action. I get this “need to celebrate more” message on a much greater level as I reflect. Time waits for no one and always waiting until this or that my never happen.
Love ya much,,

Wonderfully spoken!!! What better way to celebrate life than “#FUN” and being able to recognize and share this great feeling with loved ones. I absolutely agree that life can be filled with many things that we are grateful for which always gives us a reason to celebrate… What better way to enjoy life ❤️
