What Can You Celebrate Today? (Weekly Challengers 3/24/2008)

So often we feel we need to save our celebrations for big events: birthdays, anniversaries, national holidays. But that’s rather limiting. There are so many other things to celebrate every day. Small things, but things that make the difference between having a joyful life and a miserable one.

For example, today I’m celebrating the fact that my latest bad hair cut has almost grown out, that the squirrels are eating from the squirrel feeder and leaving the bird feeders alone, and that my coffee is hot and delicious and just the way I like it.

So what are you celebrating? My challenge to you this week is to find some little thing to celebrate - every single day. And watch how much brighter your life becomes.

    Celebrations - the view from my office window of the expanse of sky and the garden below. Personally, I love the way my son “gets” what I’m about. (He visited me on my birthday and we had fun chatting after tea).

    Last week I savoured watching the wobbliness of a little calf, 30 hours old, trying to walk. Workwise, it was receiving Lindt easter eggs, plus a day without the boss being in (micro managing my workload).

    Today, it is about appreciating my boss being away, and not having my workload being micromanaged by him. Receiving Lindt Easter eggs last week was a terrific way of breaking up the day’s routine. Personally, I value how my son “gets” what I am about. We enjoyed chatting after tea when he visited me on my birthday.
