Today we remember those who died protecting our freedoms.  Expressing gratitude for the

How Do You Celebrate the People in Your Life?

Celebrate the people in your life every day. There are any number of holidays upon which we remember specific people.  Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Veteran’s Day, Memorial Day and Labor Day celebrate individuals or groups.  But we should do all we can to celebrate people every day.

There are so many holidays out there that have very specific meanings.  Beyond that, there are feast days for Saints every single day.  So why do we only choose to celebrate on these specific days?
