Life Itself Gives Good Reason For Celebrations
Weathering storms life throws at us, we rebuild grateful to be spared when many did not, how we celebrate once the dark clouds pass, knowing the same sun shines on all.
Weaving webs of friendship, we know it's in our nature, community growth delicately evolves into benefiting larger than oneself.
Experiencing the outdoors, connecting with nature makes me realizes the large world out there, each little thing we do or touch affects someone or something else.
Celebrations should happen daily, success or failure, storms or sunshine, life itself is worthy of celebrating, watching the sun come up or go down, motivating us ever forward striving for better tomorrows.
Wakeful moments trembling thoughts mull over ones mind, how minuscule we are in grand design within all living entities.
When the sun shines dance for joy, forget yesterday filled with pain and sorrow, salute family, friends and brave who forge ways forward, enabling all to celebrate every season.
We celebrate together outdoors as we have done traditionally throughout the years, life is one celebration with scientists saying probability of being born is about one in four hundred trillion, we never know our expiry date fortunately, celebrating is a great option, against all odds that we are here in the first place.
Surviving April we happily enter into the month of May joining together building once again, many thanks for kind well wishes received during our times of trouble during recent floods!
Bubbling with joy we have options along with kindness in fellow humans!

Thanks @hivebuzz wishing you a wonderful month of May.
Thank you for participating in the PUD @joanstewart. 💪🐝
Your words cause me to reflect on life and the way I see the world and those around me. Thanku for that. Sometimes we need reminding.
One would think the older you got the easier things became, not so after the last couple of years, reassess realizing we have much to do celebrating with many around us.

Lovely pictures and even lovelier words.
Thanks for comforting words, life comes in strange packages! Have a great day!
Happy May1st Joan @joanstewart. Your thoughts are lovely and philosophical. Yes we are lucky to be on this planet and must find something to celebrate each day. 🤗
Everything a good reminder to celebrate what we have, May is a month I always enjoy, hope yours turns into a wonderful time to enjoy as well.
Beautifully written Joan. We celebrate after the storm - but I believe it is important to be able celebrate within the storm
Enjoy storms when not having to run and check drainage is working, water not entering the home.
Storms in life emotionally taxing at times, we need to remain positive to ride through gaining entry to the other side.
Loving the clouds!
Cloud displays dramatic of late.
end of days fast approaching !!
Invest into water, next commodity that is becoming scarce...
Not sure how long, but yup writing is on the wall!
I like free thinkers
😅🐸
Everyone and everything are connected in some way either positive or negative. Lovely photography @joanstewart.
We all need each other, strange thing, many think they better on their own.
Very cool shots, I love the one with the couple of birds! 🤗
Waiting in early morning sun to warm up, quiet chatting before going to enjoy breakfast 😅
I am one of those who also believe that life must be continuously celebrated in the little things, in nature, in the sun that shines, in the smile of children, in the embrace of those we love, in friendship. Life itself is a celebration.
I hope everything is getting better over there.
I saw in the coffee corner that you were organizing a celebration for your sister-in-law, I hope everything went well, and you enjoyed it.
I wish you a good week and a great month. 😊🤗
So much to be grateful for, yes celebrate everything!

infinite thanks
I cannot agree more with you Joan, life itself really is worth celebrating. I think we've been learning hard lessons these past couple of years, I have learnt to really appreciate the little things in life!
Some hard lessons learned, yet we still standing and helping others.
Who would have thought life would knock one around repeatedly, revealing massive discrepancies in the country as a whole.
Ugly revealed itself, hopefully now build a better future for all.

Thanks so much @astrocreator greatly appreciated have a wonderful day.
Your positive outlook is very inspiring Joan. love and hugs to you
Bit of a see-saw between positive and negative.
Sometimes you want to laugh then cry, worrying does not help nor does crying, it really is picking up the pieces and making things work once again.
I totally get it! It is hard to stay balanced in the midst of turmoil and I am glad everyone is starting to pick up the pieces. Love to you.
Thanks for kind wishes, food and water into rural areas a major problem, one government hospital that serves a vast area only on water supply once again today for the first time.

You're so very right, Joan, not only with the sentence above, but with your whole post. It's not easy sometimes, but looking to your country and what you have been through in the past weeks, all my problems are nothing, no teven worth mentioning.
I love the images, the spider web looks so huge 😀

Spring has arrived, and it is really wonderful to see nature awakening!
Dramatic change in your region is something I would love to experience, happy Spring to you.
Happy spring! Don't you have any change of season? Like insects etc?
Living sub-tropical small change in flowers, insects and birds not extreme as in colder regions. Autumn is here at last, weather mild, best time of the year!
Hermoso título y hermosa publicación que nos hace reflexionar. No debemos ser tan egoístas, la vida nos brinda cada día cosas hermosas para celebrar. God bless you Joan.
We hear the horrors of war, we see devastation in flooding, now we must build be positive, absolutely no use sharing negative.
I believe that there are more of us who are good.
I tell my children the same thing, this world is already full of ugly things, it's up to us to make a difference.
What you say, is what I was taught, and have tried to pass onto my boys, try live as best one can.
Natural beauty of the photographer
Thanks for kind comment!
well come dear
@joanstewart Totally agree with you that life itself gives us reasons for celebrations. The photographs are, of course, awesome as usual (especially one with the spider web floating against the sky) but in this post, even more than the photos, the following words you penned touched me -
Humans are consumed with self-importance not thinking what domino affect leads off from actions taken, thanks for reading.
For sure and let’s all stay healthy!
That’s what I wish
Stay healthy is good reason, not wearing masks outdoors is helping so much more of late.
