Celebrate!

People need to celebrate, to find reasons to be happy! They need it in stories, they need it in real life. One of the great guarantees of living is that trouble will come find you, but no matter what troubles have landed on your head, look for reasons to celebrate.

You can celebrate the weekend, a birthday, or paying off a debt. You can party over a raise, a new job, or a new relationship. Plenty of folks celebrate endings as well as beginnings, but it all adds to the texture of our lives. We must focus on enough good things to give us the strength we need to face whatever comes.

I have friends, and I bet you do too, who project into the future trying to anticipate the next bad, dark event. Well right or wrong, we need the happy stored up to live through those dark days, so pull out your silly hats, fire up the bbq, and put on a smiling face. Let’s make some happy!

And if all that doesn’t work for you, pull out one of my books and read to a happy place. You might need it! 😃
