Celebrate life

Whenever people tell me that they are getting old, I remind them to "consider the alternative." You can choose to focus not on the years as passing but to ones that contain memories of wonder-filled times. I wonder how many of the people who comment on their age are really expressing their regrets of not living life as they had planned. The way to turn that around is to celebrate your life today. See it as an opportunity to do, have, or be all that is meant for you in this lifetime. Celebrate your relationships, your finances, and your health at whatever level they are today. I like to view whatever is happening as "this or something better." I never cease to be amazed at how often the "something better" shows up for me. I recently shared with a friend of mine that I don't see the glass as half empty or half full; I see it as overflowing. Use your creativity to transform the most mundane of activities into a celebration. As Auntie Mame pointed out, "Life is a banquet and most poor fools are starving." Make your life a celebration today and watch who shows up to join you. What can you celebrate today?
