Let's Celebrate!!! (Day 61 - September 21, 2011)

IT'S A DAY OF CELEBRATION!!!

Choose what you want to celebrate . . .

• A warmer night last night for That Poverty Guy . . . okay, maybe just those of us sleeping outside are happy about that one.

• First Day of Fall (or Spring . . . depending where you are) / The September Equinox (new politically correct terminology so as to not be northern biased) . . . in many places in the north there is great beauty this time of year . . . and in many places in the south winter is ending and spring is arriving.

• International Day of Peace . . . as declared by the United Nations, since 1982 September 21st has been recognized at a day for peace building.

• Release of the Forbes List of Richest Americans is out . . . Bill Gates is still number one ($59 Billion) and the combined wealth of the top 400 Americans ($1.53 Trillion) is roughly equivalent to Canada's GDP.  Okay . . . maybe you only celebrate this one if you're on the list . . .

Too often we don't take time to celebrate little milestones in life, special days, or just because.  I learned this lesson when on some travels to West Africa.  You would think that many of the people have little to celebrate . . . but they celebrate seeing each other, having food today, and many other things we take for granted.  Certainly, not everyone is celebrating and there is much to despair as well, but that doesn't mean you can't take a moment from the grind and be grateful for being alive.

In honour of everyone of us being able to find some reason to celebrate (even if you have to look really hard) . . . today I'm featuring My Top 3 Favourite Blogs to Write and The Top 3 Most Viewed Blogs.
