I enjoy the chance to celebrate anything.  Really.  Anything.  Good grades, birthdays, anniversaries, the first day of (fill in the blank).  Holidays are like the cherry on top of an ice cream sunday.  They are to be celebrated because they are just that, a holiday! A break from the norm, humdrum of everyday stuff.

This past Saturday morning Valentine's Day, I had the opportunity to attend a lovely brunch with my oldest daughter, Isabella and many other awesome women ages 8 and up from our Zionsville branch.  We had a virtual smorgasborg of fruit, breakfast casseroles, muffins, and donuts. 


We were able to hear from 3 women (including youth speakers) who shared insights on how we individually feel and show love, how to show love to those we interact with on a daily basis (ie: family) and how to determine needs from wants and prioritize our time effectively on those thing that matter most.


The highlight of the morning was a fun team challenge competition which included a plank holding contest, singing a note for the longest in one breath, and more.  I had the best time and it was wonderful to see Isa interacting with all of the other girls and young women in our branch. 


We don’t need a holiday in order to celebrate those we love all year round. We have daily opportunities to adopt an attitude of gratitude, to be kind in all of our actions and not just say, "I love you," but SHOW how we love.
