Worth Celebrating

It would be so easy to fall into the trap of complaining about the current debacles in South Africa but I think there is enough social media covering that ground. Instead...

Yesterday, I was looking at some photo's of nature in unusual but exceptionally beautiful forms. Cloud formations, lightning, ice formations, volcanoes...

Yesterday, I also heard of the celebrations of a whole family for a son who had graduated and what a milestone achievement that was, as well as an inspiration for the younger members of the family.

We had some desperately needed rain.

I felt I had a productive workday, having completed some design objectives that had been outstanding for a while. 

My family were safe and sound when I arrived home and was greeted with a hug and kiss. There was a fabulous meal cooked and I was able to sleep in a warm bed.

I have technology to be able to write these messages. I have my mental acumen to create a comprehendible piece of writing while you have the ability and means to access and read the blog.

We have so much around us that is worth celebrating, why do we spend time dwelling on the negative? It is actually illogical. You have a choice to either bring joy, laughter and upliftment into your (or another's) life or you can choose to drag yourself down into negativity just by choosing what you want to celebrate. Because discussing something is putting it into a priority position. It is what you have chosen to spend this very moment doing. You have sacrificed all other options to do that thing right now! I would call that celebrating. I'd rather lift up the things I treasure and respect rather than the discouraging and degenerating topics. 

Leave the negativity to decay on its own. 
Celebrate only that worthy of celebrating.
