Life Itself Gives Good Reason For Celebrations

Weathering storms life throws at us, we rebuild grateful to be spared when many did not, how we celebrate once the dark clouds pass, knowing the same sun shines on all.

Weaving webs of friendship, we know it's in our nature, community growth delicately evolves into benefiting larger than oneself.

Experiencing the outdoors, connecting with nature makes me realizes the large world out there, each little thing we do or touch affects someone or something else.

Celebrations should happen daily, success or failure, storms or sunshine, life itself is worthy of celebrating, watching the sun come up or go down, motivating us ever forward striving for better tomorrows.

Wakeful moments trembling thoughts mull over ones mind, how minuscule we are in grand design within all living entities.

IMG_6848.JPG

When the sun shines dance for joy, forget yesterday filled with pain and sorrow, salute family, friends and brave who forge ways forward, enabling all to celebrate every season.

We celebrate together outdoors as we have done traditionally throughout the years, life is one celebration with scientists saying probability of being born is about one in four hundred trillion, we never know our expiry date fortunately, celebrating is a great option, against all odds that we are here in the first place.

Surviving April we happily enter into the month of May joining together building once again, many thanks for kind well wishes received during our times of trouble during recent floods!

Bubbling with joy we have options along with kindness in fellow humans!

Enjoy storms when not having to run and check drainage is working, water not entering the home.

Storms in life emotionally taxing at times, we need to remain positive to ride through gaining entry to the other side.

I am one of those who also believe that life must be continuously celebrated in the little things, in nature, in the sun that shines, in the smile of children, in the embrace of those we love, in friendship. Life itself is a celebration.

I hope everything is getting better over there.
I saw in the coffee corner that you were organizing a celebration for your sister-in-law, I hope everything went well, and you enjoyed it.
I wish you a good week and a great month. 😊🤗

You're so very right, Joan, not only with the sentence above, but with your whole post. It's not easy sometimes, but looking to your country and what you have been through in the past weeks, all my problems are nothing, no teven worth mentioning.

I love the images, the spider web looks so huge 😀

Rough seas, raw nerves, must move forward irrespective.

Many still without water they are battling with pump stations submerged in mud, then pipes burst, a bit of a nightmare!

No electricity yesterday afternoon for 4 hours again this afternoon for 3 most probably switching off to reconnect infrastructure along the line.

Country has started rolling blackouts again not able to hodl stable power anywhere!

Great to see you again..... best month of the year in Durban, weather is awesome, that perks me up somewhat 😄

I cannot agree more with you Joan, life itself really is worth celebrating. I think we've been learning hard lessons these past couple of years, I have learnt to really appreciate the little things in life!

Some hard lessons learned, yet we still standing and helping others.

Who would have thought life would knock one around repeatedly, revealing massive discrepancies in the country as a whole.

Ugly revealed itself, hopefully now build a better future for all.

Bit of a see-saw between positive and negative.

Sometimes you want to laugh then cry, worrying does not help nor does crying, it really is picking up the pieces and making things work once again.

@joanstewart Totally agree with you that life itself gives us reasons for celebrations. The photographs are, of course, awesome as usual (especially one with the spider web floating against the sky) but in this post, even more than the photos, the following words you penned touched me -

Wakeful moments trembling thoughts mull over ones mind, how minuscule we are in grand design within all living entities.
Very beautifully written. Almost poetic.
Cheers

One would think the older you got the easier things became, not so after the last couple of years, reassess realizing we have much to do celebrating with many around us.

Whoever is directly controlling the V2K told me to kill myself.
They told me if I killed myself now it would save the lives of countless others.
Saying the longer I wait to kill myself the more people will suffer.


They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years. I know there are many in prison that dont deserve to be there because of this. Your stay in prison will not be fun @battleaxe and friends. People are going to want you dead when they find out what you did. I hope you die a slow painful death. You sick mother fuckers.

Its a terrorist act on American soil while some say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic and foreign threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth?
