Celebrations- Ethereal Lantern

From the beginning of a new year right to the very end of it, there's something that brings people together in ways that makes our world all that much better. Something that's been going on ever since the beginning of celebration. Whether it be a cause for life, birth, death, holiday or anything that brings groups of people together to share smiles, laughs, and joy. Birthday's- give us parties with family and friends, an event where everyone sings together and shares a celebratory cake as they all watch the new year olds close their eyes and blow out candles wishing for that hopeful wish to come true. Everyone smiles and claps as the last candle has been blown out. Mutual feelings of love are shared with everyone from the youngest child to the oldest grandparent. Even strangers, if out somewhere, will join in and sing the celebratory song-"Happy Birthday To You"  Birth- From the moment the newborn comes out of the womb to the first smack on his/her tiny little rear-ends (butts or ghoulies as my mother would call it). Smiles and happiness are an instant welcome from the over-joyed parents, family, doctors and nurses. "Welcome To The World Little Ones" Death- Even at times of sadness we celebrate the life and death of a loved one as it brings loved ones together to share happy memories of those they have lost. And then there are- Holidays- These are my favorite times of the year, times when people all over the globe collaborate in mass celebrations by singing, dancing, decorating and showing and sharing their love and kindness to most everyone they come in contact with or talk to on that special occasion. Celebration- without celebration our world would be tasteless and boring and unfortunately there would be a whole heck of a lot less smiles going around. Smiles- it's what the world needs now, tomorrow, and till the end of our time here on earth. "Smile On" 

Whatever the month or time of the year it is, it is these occasions that bring joy to my soul and love to my heart.
