Celebration.<\/p>\n

To observe a notable occasion with festivities.<\/p>\n

What we are celebrating is life. Without life there is nothing. An ancient affirmation states: “Everyday in everyway, I’m getting better and better.” Therein lies the celebration of life. We come into the physical to learn about ourselves, to bring light and love to every dark corner of the planet. Each day we struggle with the problems and the teachings those problems present to us, and each night we celebrate our victory. Look for the joy, and humor, learn to laugh when things seem so serious. We are safe and secure. We are eternal, we are held forever in the loving embrace of our Creator.<\/p>\n

“Fly free and happy beyond birthdays and across forever,
\nand we’ll meet now and then when we wish,
\nin the midst of the one celebration that never can end.”<\/p>\n

Richard Bach, American Writer,
\nAuthor of “Jonathan Livingston Seagull.” 1936 <\/p>\n
