CELEBRATE!

Because you just don’t know when the End is.

CELEBRATE! – © LYON 2025

It’s really that simple. Life is precious, but we treat it as ho-hum, it’ll be here tomorrow. Well, maybe it will, but maybe you won’t.

I’ve had friends just up and leave the planet – no warning, no illness, just – poof – gone. One got hit by a car as she biked down the street. One fell of a cliff, of all things. One died in childbirth.

One of my fave uncles downed in a vacation accident when I was 19 years old. I was desolate – knowing I’d never see him again, and because I’d never actually expressed to him how much I loved him.

I made a vow to up and TELL people how I felt about them, NOW, not later, because – surprise! A car accident, a fall down a mountain, something caught in the throat and hack-hack she’s gone – any number of shitty things!

So celebrate your life now, while you still can! And hug yourself, and tell yourself, “Self, I love you! You’re the best self I could ever have!”

I love you, too.
