The Power of Everyday Celebrations [1]

Every day of our lives events occur that warrant celebration – some are large and some are small. One day we might clean out the junk drawer in the kitchen, the next we finish constructing the 4-foot garden we’d been putting off for months, and the next day we find out that our daughter is engaged.

It’s hard to imagine not celebrating your daughter’s engagement with a round of calls to all the relatives and a dinner where you raise your glasses to the bride and groom to be.

For me, it’s hard to imagine not celebrating the clean drawer.

I know that might sound extreme but the days are moving by at a rapid pace. Why are we only celebrating the big events — the weddings, the births, the promotions, the New Year?
