Celebrations and Rituals

Posted on June 13, 2011 - Filed Under Uncategorized |

Tomorrow is my baby’s first birthday party.  I was getting a bit wrapped up in who’s coming, what to do, decorations, etc.  I am not Martha Stewart, so I tend to feel a bit insecure with these things. 

It is clear when something really bothers me, it is something I need to work on or learn about myself.  I realized the party is not about who’s there or impressing anyone with my crepe paper decorations.  It is only about Isabella.  It is a celebration of her, and of us, surviving and loving the first year of her precious life. 

It is about her getting crazy on some cake and exploring the balloons.  It is about having a few friends over to celebrate her.  It is my mission tomorrow to stay fully engaged in the present during the party so that I can thoroughly enjoy it.

Celebrations should not be stressful events.  It seems like our culture has moved to one of impressing others, and the point of the party can be lost in all the pomp.  Parties are meant for delighting in the event, not following some kind of rules.

Rituals and celebrations are important for allowing us to pass through transitions and honor them completely.  They have an impact on our soul.  This is what is critical in these gatherings. These events are some of the few memories that last through life. It is so important to relax and enjoy them mindfully. Suck it all up.
