Something to Celebrate

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

It’s a rare week that virtually anyone, anywhere can find something to celebrate. Making for many happy moments in the coming days for many people.

Of course, the world is celebrating the Winter Olympics. Even if you don’t like sports most of us can’t help but cheer for the athletes from our country or for our favorite sport. Tune in and watch the quests for perfection and gold. Since I’m allergic to exercise, literally, (or I tell myself that), I’m simply amazed by the passion, dedication, and shear determination Olympic athletes have in their DNA. And I love those Olympic Canadian Red Mittens.

On Sunday, it’s Valentine’s Day. And while it’s extra special if you have a sweetheart, it’s also a time to remind everyone you love that you love them. You can send a free e-greeting (with a free trial) from American Greetings. And don’t forget in all the love sharing to give yourself a little R & R to show how much you love you~think bubble bath, chocolate, and a good movie.

Sunday kicks-off the Chinese New Year, the Year of the Tiger. It lasts 15 days, so make a point to have a little Chinese food and check out some of the other traditions. Who knows, they just might bring you a little extra luck this year.

And finally Fat Tuesday, begins on February 16th. I can only imagine the extra energy surrounding Mardi Gras with the recent New Orleans Saints Super Bowl win. Not going to New Orleans, or the multitude of other celebrating cities? You can still celebrate by cooking up some of Rachael Ray’s recipes, throwing some beads, and maybe wearing your favorite mask (you can make one with construction paper, glitter, beads, ribbon, and other bling stuff).

Have a happy week celebrating something…and keep us posted of your happy celebration.
