I love an excuse to party. I don’t mean party in the sense that you go out somewhere and drink or do stupid things. I like to party in terms of having an excuse to get dressed up, plan an awesome menu and celebrate things. It could be something major and exciting like a birthday or promotion, or something as mundane as getting an A on a spelling test. There is something in everyday that is worth celebrating. When I am tucking Little Man in bed at night, after our story and before prayers, we do something called thumbs up/thumbs down, where we talk about things that were great and not so great about the day. No matter how difficult, challenging or plain awful the day may have been, there is always something good in it that gets a thumbs up.
The month of May is filled with lots of great things to celebrate and get our party on with:
Kentucky Derby
Cinco de Mayo
My first 5k of the year
Mother’s Day
Last day of school
My birthday
Memorial Day
Gardening season starting in South Dakota
Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity. Margaret D. Nadauld
