it’s been a challenging week for celebrations. but, true to what i believe, i must practice what i preach. so, even though i’ve been scared, sad, lonely, worried, and exhausted, i still have found something everyday to celebrate. what a great opportunity april’s photo challenge has been for me. it’s as if my subconscious knew something back in march when i planned april to be a month all about finding something to celebrate every day. it’s not always easy, and some days it seems like it’s almost impossible, but it’s there. there is always something, even if it’s the tiniest thing, to celebrate. there is always one reason to go to bed thankful and one reason to wake up hopeful.
here’s what i celebrated this past week:
8: cry
cry: crying, mourning, and remembering is a part of life. today was holocaust remembrance day.
9. risk
10. pink
pink: a pink orchid on my windowsill… in honor of international anti-bullying day today.
11. warm
warm: keeping warm while standing at the bus stop waiting for our friend n, to arrive from ireland!
12. unhindered
unhindered: this is the day my love went to the hospital. i needed some strong, unhindered, tough inspiration. this was perfect. face those fears & challenges, and grab onto life! y e a h.
13. joy
joy: lots of joy when n and i went out to eat and received lots of yummy, unique (smoked octopus & pork belly), delicious food… for free!
14. laughter
laughter: this movie did it for me. laughter is sometimes the best medicine.
so, what are you celebrating? what has happened lately that has reminded you that life is a beautiful journey, even when it’s messy? talk to me!
party on! peace & love.
