Traditions

A few months ago, I learned about some of the fun traditions that my friends do for their kids. My first thought was that if I was married and had kids, then I could adopt some of these fun traditions. Yet, being single, it isn't worth the hassle to do anything fun for the holidays.

That is when I realized that just because I am single... that shouldn't stop me from living life to the fullest and creating some fun traditions for myself. Not only that, but traditions are not reserved for only the holidays. Nothing is stopping me from creating, simple traditions to celebrate life on a daily basis. For instance, one idea is to eat Sunday dinner on my china plates every week.... and why not also have a special dinner for every Sunday. By doing so, this can be a simple reminder that Sunday is not an oridinary day... it is a day to celebrate Christ and remember Him.

As I thought more about it, I realized that I already have some annual traditions that I share with my sister. Every year, we participate and in the Susan G. Komen's Race For the Cure 5k Walk... and we also attend the Utah Shakespearean Festival.

Traditions help bring meaning and enjoyment into our lives. Married, single, young, old... we can all create traditions and celebrate life!
