This first weekend of February was one of celebrations. Both were milestone birthdays.
Hubby's sister turned 65 and my Dad 80.
In honor of these two special people there were surprise parties given.
There is such joy to see the look in someone's eye when they realize that friends and loved ones have gathered to say you matter. You are important. We are celebrating your life.
Birthdays are wonderful times to celebrate. Other occasions are lovely too...wedding anniversaries...retirement...moving into a new home...a great job offer or promotion. All are worthy of recognition.
Time's way is not slow. It rushes quickly by. Maybe we don't need to wait to celebrate only those milestone moments . Wouldn't it be nice if everyday we told someone they are important...I am glad you are my friend...you really matter to me.
Let's just celebrate because we have this day!
God bless each and every one of you because You are important and you matter to me!
