Let's celebrate!
"Life is not meant to be a burden... It is a blessing to be celebrated... Learning to celebrate joy is one of the great practices of the spiritual life. It confirms our trust in God. It affirms the greatness of creation... It recognizes the mercy and love of God... Every year in celebrating our birthdays... we are called to remember the gift of life itself... When we celebrate the good things in life, we trace them to the Creator who gives without merit, openhandedly... Joy gives us strength for the unknown." (The Breath of the Soul, p. 60-62.)
So whether you are celebrating a bountiful harvest, the beauty of the season, another birthday - or simply life itself, ENJOY!
