Just a couple of views from my window as we made our way back from Vegas yesterday. The hubby and I woke up Saturday morning and decided to go ahead and jump in the car for a quick Vegas getaway. We have declared today, 11/22, Celebrate Life Day so this weekend was a way to kick it off. Sometimes life takes turns that are unexpected and sometimes there aren't always answers as to why. So instead of focusing on the challenges that have shaped our past year, we have decided to look at all of the positives and the blessings that we have and celebrate them. Celebrate Life. Ironic that this day falls on Thanksgiving week, my favorite holiday. I love that we have set aside a day that doesn't revolve around gift giving but instead on giving thanks.
The pictures from our drive home are actually in chronological order of being seen - the clear sky to the snow-dusted mountains to the sun breaking through the clouds. Harking back to my English Lit roots, it's hard to deny the imagery that led us home.
I love this post! I am totally stealing this holiday - just like I did with your temporary tourists idea. Good stuff :)
ReplyDeleteYay! Thanks, Erin! That is the idea! Everyone should have a Celebrate Life Day :) We should lobby to make it a national holiday. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
