“Each day offers a reason to celebrate. Find it and experience true bliss.” ~ Amy Leigh Mercree This morning FB asked me whats on my mind, and often I want to just say "whats it got to do with you?" but remembering that FB is a social media tool and wants more that possible interaction to make it successful, I oblige with a thought. Today my grandson has his 5th Birthday Celebration with Cand Floss, Cakes, Jumping Castles and Transformers everywhere. My daughters are off to a Beer festival in a neighbouring town with their partners and friends and my husband is fishing with friends. All are part of celebrating the day and the wonders of having a great life. Another celebrating is that of a life passed . . . and that is where I shall be. My friend's father passed away last week and we will be celebrating his life with tea and cake after his memorial service. Therefore - Celebrate today, Feel it, Find it and experience true bliss! Piglet: “How do you spell love?” Pooh: “You don’t spell it, you feel it.” ~ A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh

I like the saying above. Each day offers a reason to celebrate. Find it and experience true bliss. We should always find a reason to celebrate the day we are alive. Glad to know there's so much good things you can celebrate for today

Yes, there is always a reason to celebrate a day. The only thing that prevents us from doing it is when we erroneously perceive more negatives than positives.

Yes, we should celebrate everyday. That can happen if we look at the positives that any given day offers. Positives will outnumber negatives on any given day.

Joy found me this week and I'd love true bliss to arrive. Of course I normally feel both, but somehow lost them recently.

What a great sentiment. I need to do that more often - find something to celebrate each and every day.

What wonderful thoughts. I am sorry for your loss of a friend. All the things your family are doing are wonderful ways to celebrate life. I will celebrate with a bicycle ride as it is a bit on the cool side here, so perfect for that. I will also celebrate the bounty in my garden and use some of it to prepare our supper.

I love that Winnie the Pooh quote you mentioned. It is a powerful one. We must celebrate life and each other while we can.
