#71: A Cause for Celebration (Friday, May 9)

Even in the most uneventful day, you are bound to have at least one success. Others may think it's minor, but only you can determine what success means to you. 

The Idea: Celebrate your successes. Maybe it's finally completing a recurring item on your to-do list, or just breaking a daily routine, or turning a year older, or getting through yet another day at a challenging job - matter what it is, celebrate it.  It doesn't have to be an all out celebration, but at the very least acknowledge that you accomplished something.

The Cost: Depends on how you decide to celebrate. You could treat yourself to lunch/dinner, get a manicure/pedicure, or just give yourself a pat on the back.

The Benefit: Taking time to acknowledge even your smallest successes will help you really LIVE in every day instead of just existing in it.
