Independence Day


Celebration is a high form of praise, of gratitude to the Creator for the beauty of God's creation. To enjoy and celebrate the good does not mean that it will be taken from you. To celebrate is to delight in the gift, to show gratitude.

Celebrate your relationships! Celebrate the lessons from the past and the love and warmth that are there today. Enjoy the beauty of others and their connection to you.

Celebrate all that is in your life. Celebrate all that is good. Celebrate you!
--from The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie

Today I am celebrating independence from alcohol and nicotine (day 5).

You have inspired me to write about gratitude today.

Take the nicotine issue one day at a time too. I did this, and now I am going on 11 years without cigerettes!

Congrats on day 5 without the nicotine. I quit four years ago this September and the first two weeks were the most brutal. Now I don't even think about cigs anymore.
