Celebrations

 

Daily Gratitude Year 9- Day 352: Today, I am grateful for celebrations.

This day has been full and sweet. It was a day of celebration.

Our niece, Kenzie, brought her Bradley roommate home with her. We adopted her right into our family and hearts. We've shared Covid lockdowns, canceled flights, cooking adventures, fun games and some Hungarian foods we had not tried.. 

Kinga was with us for the big Bess Family Thanksgivings in previous years. She enjoyed them as much as we did. We keep telling her that graduation doesn't mean she can't come back for Thanksgiving.  

Today, we watched Kinga graduate. It was a special day. She will leave with Matt and Jennifer at the end of our weekend and they will take her to O'Hare for her flight home. This time, it is one way. No return flight is scheduled. I am so happy for her parents and family. I know they must miss her fiercely. We will miss her, too. 

We must remember to grab life's sweet moments with both hands. Every day is a gift. Unwrap each one with care. Today, there was celebration in the air. 

"Rejoice with those who rejoice." -Romans 12:15

Today, I am grateful for celebrations.
