Often we focus our celebrations on the happy events in our lives — birthdays, marriages, anniversaries, graduations, new arrivals. Let’s flip that and celebrate a not-so-pleasant event that made you stronger. Our experiences may seem ugly on the surface, but they’re beautiful schools for our learning. What have you learned from these experiences in your life? How can you celebrate what happened to you?
It wasn't until I did this Prompt that I really understood why Pop wanted a Celebration, not a funeral. He touched so many lives, and his Memorial Service was a beautiful day of stories, pictures and laughing (as well as crying).
