Celebrating Moments

Why must celebrations be relegated to only the birthdays, the weddings, the holiday, or the other red-letter events in a year when every day should have something in it worth celebrating. What makes your heart dance? What makes you catch your breath in a surprising gasp? What is there in life that delights and surprises you? Embrace it! Love it! Celebrate it! We speak of celebrating the ordinary. The commonplace. the humdrum. The moments that tumble one after another that make up hours, then days, then years; the accumulation of moments THAT IS YOUR LIFE. Shouldn't there be something in all those ordinary moments worth celebrating? This is your life I'm speaking of....all of that sacred, splendid ordinariness. Celebrate the astonishing moments that lift your heart. Uncover joy in whatever it is that beautifully colors your seemingly ordinary days. Discover what it is that sets your soul soaring. There is Holiness hidden in the humdrum. Blessings that lurk in the exalted ennui. Find it. Celebrate it. Revel in it. Hallow it. ~words by Jennifer Clawson Farnes.....read from bella GRACE magazine.

 “Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return.” ― Mary Jean Irion

 Not any of my words.....but words that speak to my heart.....and spur me on to celebrate.....each....and.....every.....day..... the ordinary....the humdrum...those are the moments, that for the most part make up these lives of ours....this is my goal....to celebrate these days, moments, so
 i end up with a very celebrated life.
