Celebrate Your Love

I realize that today's post reads a little like a Hallmark Card. Sorry for that. :)

It's Peebo Bryson and Roberta Flack and their fantastic song "Tonight, I Celebrate My Love"...

Tonight I celebrate my love for you
And that midnight song is gonna come shining through
Tonight there'll be no distance between us
What I want most to do
Is to get close to you

I've been thinking about what it means to celebrate my love. It can mean many different things to different people, but - when put into action - can have extremely good results. Here are some ways you can celebrate your love -

1. Celebrate - period. Live life like the entire thing is a celebration. I know, we all have responsibilities - work, kids, bills - I get it. But you can still celebrate your life. If you live most days with an attitude of celebration, overall your relationship is going to be great. Smile, laugh, party, listen to music.

2. Celebrate - her. Attitude goes a long way. Celebrate the fact that she is your partner and outwardly demonstrate your appreciation for all that she brings to the relationship. Think of the wedding reception - the party. Keep (or rekindle) that celebration. Celebrate at home, or go out with friends. Pop open the champagne - "just beacause."

3. Celebrate her successes. Whether it's on the job, school, or any other aspect of her life, celebrate with her when things go well or when a milestone is reached. Go out of your way to try and make sure that the things that are important to her are important to you as well.

Do you see the common theme here? Celebrate!!! Enjoy your life together. Make the most of whatever you've go going. Press on through the rough times and celebrate the good times. It will draw you closer.
