On a Friday, I usually make sure I’m through my list, but this Friday I’m planning a new list. I’m making a celebration scheme — a way to hold my life close. I want to gather up this summer time to carry as clear memories to pull out when the weekends aren’t so welcoming or warm.
It’s easy to forget when I’m working that I’m working for a living. We only get 52 weekends and I plan to make this one a celebration.
I’m out to celebrate being alive.
The Top 7 Ways to Celebrate a Life Worth Living
Life. We either make every minute meaningful or it ticks by as a meaningless moment. Here are ten ways to see the meaning of living and hold to it long after summer gone by.
- Aspire! Aspire means to breathe. to breathe toward. Pull out those buried hopes and dreams. Plan and do something that makes you feel alive.
- Inspire! Inspire means to move by the spirit! Find a friend or two who see life as you do. Invite them to come along.
- Conspire! Conspire means to act in harmony toward a common goal. Plot a quiet celebration!
- Experience! Invite your senses. Bring favorites — foods and music — and go somewhere you can’t take your eyes off the view.
- Discover. Listen to how your friends have grown and as you talk listen to how you have changed in ways you haven’t had a chance to notice.
- Recover. Regain your balance by laughing, dancing, resting, playing, talking, singing, sharing stories, solving problems, being noisy, being silent, being human.
- Uncover! Look for what you value that you’ve been missing. See what you’re not seeing around you and in each other. Find a way to never forget.
What might that add up to?
I can imagine a great friend with our favorite tunes, wine, apples, cheese, and conversation by the north river where the flowers seem to float over the water on a lazy afternoon. Think I’ll call her now.
What will you be doing?
