Remember turning 10 years old and how excited you were for your birthday party? It was a big deal. Most people as they get older stop celebrating their birthday because, "It's just another day." Why do we stop the celebration of life?!? Joyce, in Eat the Cookie, Buy the Shoes, says perhaps we stop because, "We lack understanding on how truly awesome we are." We all have ordinary days full of errands that need to get done, floors to clean at home, and kids/dogs to feed. During an ordinary day such as these take a few moments for you. Then you can feel rejuvenized for the next task instead of feeling anger or frustration. I think I understand what Joyce is saying. When I was getting ready for my trip to Asia there were tons of things to do to get ready; pack, buy missing clothes, lose weight etc. Amongst all this I got a pedicure (for the trip as an errand I needed to get done) but afterward I felt so good with myself because I unintentionally palmpered myself which rejuvenated me to finish getting ready for Asia.
Some ways to celebrate on an ordinary day; eat a cookie, buy a pair of shoes, have lunch with a good frend, sit in the sunshine, go for a walk, or put whipped cream in your coffee. Why? Because you cleaned the house or you went to work or you took the dog out. Just because you can! To close your source wants you to enjoy life. Otherwise there wouldn't have been so many amazing, enjoyable things created.
