Celebrate Your Own Top 365

Birthdays are fun days. Last night we celebrated my niece Sarah's birthday. I loved seeing her celebrate her birthday this week because I love her so much.

Lunch out on her day, Disneyland today. Family dinner last night. Cards. Flowers, Her cakes. All but one of her cousins were there. Both grandmas. Two aunts. Her best friend. Love was in the air.

It is good to take time out to celebrate.

Take Some Time for Some Mini Rebellion
 
Use the pronoun you instead of I
Sleep an extra five minutes.
Buy a new shirt or book just because you can.
Go to Disneyland. (In spite of the fact that they raised the price today).
Take a  nap.
Watch an old movie.
Go to see the Cardinals play three times this year.
Hike to the top
Dance in the kitchen.
Drive to your favorite spot.
Go out to lunch
See a movie
Drink a martini
 
 
This may seem like a corny post but it is true. If you don't take the time, time will take over. The benefits of self discipline are numerous and necessary for success in life and sometimes the best way to enjoy is to appreciate. Self discipline is often best served with a little down time.
 
Our family has lost a lot of people in the past ten years. An aunt, two uncles, a grandma, three cousins. It's never too early to start to celebrate your own Top 365 and to make yourself one of the top of the list.
