Celebrate the Little Things in Life

lettering-lets-celebrate

My baby girl is getting so big. She turned 3 years old last month and it seems like she keeps hitting major mile stones one right after the other. In the last few months she has outgrown her high chair, graduated to a toddler bed, and now she is using the potty like a big girl!!

We are so proud of her success and accomplishments. I realize these are all very normal parts of growing up and may seem small, but for a little girl, they are huge (and to her mamma, they feel like she just climbed Mount Everest)!!

I started thinking about it thought and wonder… at what point do we stop celebrating life? I think as we get older, we tend to treat smaller accomplishments as if they are no big deal. What would happen if we kept right on celebrating the small victories in life? We start worrying so much about the bigger things in life, that we overlook the small things.

These last few months have encouraged me to keep on celebrating the small things. When I check something off my to do list… I want to take a minute to do a little happy dance! When I wake up in the morning and everyone makes it out the door on time, I want to take a minute to be proud of myself and my family for that accomplishment. Let’s keep it real… some mornings that is my Mount Everest!!

Life is worth celebrating!! Leave me a comment to tell me how what small victories you are celebrating this week. If you aren’t celebrating anything, then tell me what you could be celebrating if you found Joy in the small accomplishments of your week. I want to hear from you.
