7 more things to celebrate in april.

Posted on by Elizabeth

it’s been a challenging week for celebrations. but, true to what i believe, i must practice what i preach. so, even though i’ve been scared, sad, lonely, worried, and exhausted, i still have found something everyday to celebrate. what a great opportunity april’s photo challenge has been for me. it’s as if my subconscious knew something back in march when i planned april to be a month all about finding something to celebrate every day. it’s not always easy, and some days it seems like it’s almost impossible, but it’s there. there is always something, even if it’s the tiniest thing, to celebrate. there is always one reason to go to bed thankful and one reason to wake up hopeful.

here’s what i celebrated this past week:

8: cry

cry: crying, mourning, and remembering is a part of life. today was holocaust remembrance day.

  2. Love your photos. My instagram pics are the things that made me smile that day. Lately it’s been family, the sun, food, and my book in paperback! And I’m with you, laughter is the best for lifting spirits. 🙂
