Celebrations

I never used to enjoy saying Merry Christmas or Happy New Year. I mean, really, did you have any clue if it was going to be Merry or Happy.  Why ask for trouble?  In fact, I can remember one New Years Eve going to a party, back when I was skinny.  I chose that day to start my diet.  Hellooooo, was I nuts?    My logic, pathetic as it was, was that if I couldn't eat reasonably then, I couldn't on a regular day.  So by all means do not take pleasure in the festivities, because it wasn't safe to be festive.  I kid you not, I used to be that person.

That was years ago, and I'm not that person anymore. hfewwwwww!!!!   Maybe we all have times like that in our life, where we are simply afraid to live.  Perhaps we are a seed and our time to blossom has not arrived.

But, thankfully it happens. And it is cause to celebrate.  Life is really too short not to. Celebrate it all, the good and the bad.  Each has a life force to mold us into a better me and you.  If I had to do it again...I'd surf that buffet of party food like it was my last meal.  Surely I passed up some potato chips that night, egads what was I thinking!!  Maybe there was chocolate with my name on it, and yet, I said no, no chocolate for me.  There were toast's to good times and I held back.  

So here is the lesson....don't hold back.....   Embrace, savor and taste the goodness.  Plain and simple, celebrate.
