Thanks, Tim. Her thoughts clicked on various, similar memories. There are good memories and bad memories. Her thoughts clicked on the good ones. Not all good memories are completely happy ones. For example, when our oldest son was eight years old he had a bicycle. It must have been a Saturday. A boy knocked on our door. When I answered it, he asked, "Do you have a little boy named Cameron. I said, "Yes." His answer, "He's been hit by a car." I ran behind the boy for about a block. A better part of the memory is when I saw my son sitting on the pavement with a transport splint on a leg with a big smile on his face. It would be a bad memory if he had been lying unconscious in a pool of blood! Lawton www.myspiritualjourney.info

To everyone reading this forum. It is extremely gratifying to know how much my research efforts are appreciated by all of you. I constantly search for meaningful articles that fulfill the mission I proposed when creating this forum, that of motivation and inspiration for all of my friends and colleagues here in Adlandpro. Even though I rarely respond to everyone's words of gratitude, rest assured I do read all of your kind comments, and my heart is always uplifted to know that you, my faithful readers, have somehow been affected in a positive way. It is I who should be saying Thank You! Sincerely,

Hi Tim, Great Stuff, keep it up. You are an inspiration to us all.

I really enjoyed reading this. Thank you for posting it. I have family who have become Jehovah Witnesses and they don't 'celebrate' holidays like the rest of the secular heathens in our tribe! so, contemplating celebration' has been an ongoing meditation for me. I learned here that the Latin 'celebrare' means 'to frequent' or 'fill' -- that is good to know. Celebration as the small moments that Louise LeBrun speaks of -- those must be what all hearts celebrate. Beth
