Rainy Day

How do you celebrate when it is cold and wet outside? I woke up this morning to a rainy cold day. Well I guess for us Floridians 45 is cold. I was contemplating as to why on a day like today would I be wanting to write a blog about celebrating others and just life in general when most of the nation is covered in snow or experiencing unusually cold temperatures? Then I thought why not celebrate?
I have a home and a family that loves me, I will choose to celebrate them. My son wants to spend his Target gift card and has been asking for days to go. I need to celebrate him and take him today, even if he doesn't find what he wants the joy on his face just looking over the toys is so much fun.
My husband and I celebrated our marriage last night. When economic times are tough you have to be creative. Instead of going out to a restaurant for dessert,(the kids were gone) we opened a bottle of sparkling grape juice made some popcorn snuggled down on the couch to watch a movie together. Ahhhhhh. Such a great way to spend an evening.
I have one more conquest today, I need to find a way to celebrate my daughter. Once again if it is just giving her a hug or telling her how proud I am of her and the beautiful young lady she is becoming that is still celebrating.
Remember Celebrating others does not have to mean something tangible or a gift. Just you spending time and communicating can be the biggest celebration of all.
