Patch Blog: 7 Easy Ways to Celebrate Life

Sunday morning I heard about  I know tragic things happen but this accident which occurred on a freeway I drive often from South Pasadena into downtown Los Angeles threw me for a loop. It definitely got me thinking about life and what’s most important to me.   

Within minutes of getting this news, I was on Facebook posting what I was grateful for. Here’s what I wrote:  “I AM grateful for today. I AM grateful for this moment. I AM grateful for trees & flowers. I AM grateful for my family & friends. I AM grateful to be able to spend time with people I love!“ 

Today, I was strongly reminded that every day is precious. I was also inspired to write this list of seven easy ways to celebrate your life every day (you’ll find things you can do with your kids, spouse, and others): 

1. Give a smile and/or hug.
2. Pick or buy flowers for your home.
3. Take a walk through
4. Get or yogurt at , , , or .
5. Light a soy candle. 
6. Make yummy brownies with Reduced Guilt Brownie Mix.
7. Enjoy your family & friends.

I truly believe we must make the most of every opportunity while we’re here on the planet. So, I hope you’ll add to this list and take time to celebrate your life every day!
