It seems this is the time of year for celebrations – graduations, anniversaries, theater and concert performances, athletic competitions, etc. There are lots of once-in-a-lifetime milestone events to celebrate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A friend of mine has developed a spiritual practice that I admire though…she celebrates something every day<\/em>. Every day she posts on social media something to celebrate. It may be a food or a person or an activity or an event. As a consequence, she has the most joyful Facebook feed I’ve seen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that Tuesday was the 20th anniversary of “Towel Day”? On this day, fans of author Douglas Adams carry a towel with them as described in his book The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy<\/em>, to demonstrate their appreciation for the book and the author. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday was a day of recognition and celebration of the life of astronaut and physicist Sally Ride. She was born on this day in 1951.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s something to celebrate today…did you know that today is National Grape Popsicle Day? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why wait for the big days to celebrate? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Morning by morning new mercies I see,” says the old hymn. May you find new mercies to celebrate today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Christ,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
