A couple weeks ago, I subscribed to a daily e-mail that two very good friend of mine have created. It’s called Today’s Mantra, and it’s from Mr. 2020 and Carol Wingert.
Here’s the one that arrived on the morning of the Fourth -
Today’s Mantra is, “Celebrate!”
I almost wanted to write “Celebright!”. I know that’s not a word, but maybe it would be a great twist to Today’s Mantra.
Allow your personal celebration of freedom and liberty to brighten up your day. I was watching Carol yesterday photograph baby geese. It was amazing, she literally glowed.
She was like a little girl, celebrating life. The geese too were just having a great time, celebrating and enjoying being alive.
I think the magic key to celebrating is to notice that the world does seem brighter, when you decide to be thankful, and “celebright”.
This one in particularl grabbed me, because it reminded me of the many times that I feel like a little kid when I give away a dollar a day! Oh yes, there’s that “parental” part of me that says I shouldn’t be acting like this, behaving all child-like in public. Oh no, no, no…
But, there’s that authentic part of me that says that this is exactly what I should be doing in the moment that I’m doing it!!
So the next time you give away, remember to Celebrate, and to Celebright!!!
Blessings!
