“Every day is a good day. There is something to learn, care and celebrate.”

“Friends won’t support you until they see strangers celebrate you.”

“The original meaning of the word resolution means to “break into parts.” Think about that as you make your New Year’s resolutions. Break the big ones down. Break the little ones down. Every step is a victory. Don’t you dare wait until the finish line to celebrate. Life happens along the journey, not just at the finish line.”

“They each raised their glasses from the puddles on the table, and clinked them together in celebration.

“. . . at this season, the blossom is out in full now, there in the west early. It’s a plum tree, it looks like apple blossom but it’s white, and looking at it, instead of saying “Oh that’s nice blossom” … last week looking at it through the window when I’m writing, I see it is the whitest, frothiest, blossomest blossom that there ever could be, and I can see it. Things are both more trivial than they ever were, and more important than they ever were, and the difference between the trivial and the important doesn’t seem to matter.

The fact is, if you see the present tense, boy do you see it! And boy can you celebrate it.”

“Celebrate every day, every moment, every success and every failure. Life is a celebration of love and consciousness.”

“Many were the steps taken in doubt, that saw their shapeless ends in no time. Those who travail in faith today will truimph in joy tomorrow. Let faith lead the way.”

“I have the urge to fly, to celebrate, to dance, to sing! My happiness can’t be told or expressed, it can’t be described, and it’s impossible to confine it.”

“The more death, the more birth. People are entering, others are exiting. The cry of a baby, the mourning of others. When others cry, the other are laughing and making merry. The world is mingled with sadness, joy, happiness, anger, wealth, poverty, etc.”

“If you don’t feel it, flee from it. Go where you are celebrated, not merely tolerated.”

“I have a self-made quote: Celebrate diversity, practice acceptance and may we all choose peaceful options to conflict.”
