Here are Simple steps to celebrate life every day.
- Clean up your act: Pick your favorite cleanse and do it. You will be amazed at how much you feel like celebrating with a body that is void of impurities.
- Enjoy the good and the bad: Remember what a friend once said to me, “All sunshine makes a desert.” So appreciate the lessons that come from pain and sorrow as much as the ones that come through joy.
- Live like this is your last day on Earth: Does this one really need an explanation?
- Eat something amazingly delicious: I still remember the time I ate lobster right out of the water in Maine. But a fresh peach from Fredericksburg would be just as wonderful.
- Bring Joy into someone else’s life: Nursing home? Children’s cancer ward? Homeless shelter? Or how about a friend you haven’t spoken to in a long time?
- Radiate warmth and goodwill to everyone you meet. It does not cost you anything extra
