While celebrations are intended to
honor life’s more momentous occasions, much of real life tends to happen
during the in-between times. While moving from one moment in time to the
next is seldom considered a significant occurrence, it is during those
in-between times that we are most in tune with life’s most profound,
albeit simple joys. Between birth and death, triumph and sorrow,
beginnings and endings, we enjoy innumerable experiences that often
happen unnoticed. These times are just as worthy of celebration.
The in-between times are seldom about
landmark moments. How you choose to celebrate them or which moments you
choose to celebrate is up to you. You may want to celebrate the simple
fact that you are alive and every day is a chance to spend time with the people
you care about or do the work that you love. Then again, when you look at
the good that exists in your life, many reasons for celebrating the
in-between times may become clear: A cup of your favorite tea, a
beautiful sunrise, a good book, and the smell of fresh air can all be
reasons for celebration.
Celebrating the in-between times can be
as easy as paying special attention to them when they do happen, rather
than taking them for granted. It’s your focus of attention that can turn
an in-between time into a celebration. You can also pay homage to the
in-between times by slowing down and allowing your heart and mind to take
in all of your life’s wonders. Far too often, we let those simple moments
of awe pass us by. The in-between times are when life happens to us.
Without the in-between times, there would be no big moments to celebrate.
