The Joy Of Being
Celebrating The In-Between Times
While celebrations are intended to honor life’s more momentous
occasions, much of real life tends to happen during the in-between
times. While moving from one moment in time to the next is seldom
considered a significant occurrence, it is during those in-between
times that we are most in tune with life’s most profound, albeit simple
joys. Between birth and death, triumph and sorrow, beginnings and
endings, we enjoy innumerable experiences that often happen unnoticed.
These times are just as worthy of celebration.
The in-between times are seldom about landmark moments. How you choose
to celebrate them or which moments you choose to celebrate is up to
you. You may want to celebrate the simple facts that you are alive and
that every day is a chance to spend time with the people you care about
or do the work that you love. Then again, when you look at the good
that exists in your life, many reasons for celebrating the in-between
times may become clear: a cup of your favorite tea, a beautiful
sunrise, a good book, and the smell of fresh air can be reasons for
celebration.
Celebrating the in-between times can be as easy as paying special
attention to them when they do happen, rather than taking them for
granted. It’s your focus of attention that can turn an in-between time
into a celebration. You can also pay homage to the in-between times by
slowing down and allowing yourself time to look around and allow your
heart and mind to take in all of your life’s wonders. Far too often, we
can let those simple moments of awe pass us by. The in-between times
are when life happens to us between the pauses that we take to honor
our milestones occasions. Without the in-between times, there would be
no big moments to celebrate.
