It's that time of year again, the days of reflection after a whirlwind of holiday activities that really start here in the US with Thanksgiving and roll right through to New Years Day. The look on my kids faces the night before school starts up again, after their long holiday, would be heart-breaking, if not for the fact that I can't wait for them to get back to their routine again. People walk around town and offices with a little less bounce in their step.  Their body language whispers,"ho, hum, it went so fast, I can't believe another holiday season is over". Yes, it does and yes, it is. 

That is why I am proposing the "Happy UnHoliday"!

Instead of only being once a year, it shows up every single other day.  It doesn't matter what what your beliefs are, nor what holiday(s) you celebrate, because it falls on all the other days than your own traditionally special days. You get to make the rules.

It's a chance to find joy in the every day things, the comfort and happiness in the routine, the beauty in our journey. What fun to celebrate hundreds of days, rather than just a few. 

Go on, treat yourself.... It's Happy UnHoliday Day!

Do you take the time to celebrate your everyday joys?  What do you do?

I never realize how much I love where I live as when I arrive home after traveling. I love the comfort, the surroundings and the genuine sense of what matters.  I walk through the house touching things and looking at every room as if it had a voice and a feeling all its own.  I know that if it was able to speak, my house would tell you that we love it through and through, even when it costs a small fortune to fix something.  It is said that  "home is where the heart is", and I'm happy to report that my heart finds its residence right along with the rest of us, every single time.
