Up Coming Holidays

April Brings 2 Special Holidays For 2 Prominent Faiths


April 1, 2020

This month brings 2 special holidays, Passover and Easter. By the looks of things, we may all have to be separated from our loved ones during those holidays due to COVID19. As long as we and our family members all maintain our health, there's no reason to despair, because we should all be able to still celebrate them together while we're apart and still have a wonderful holiday. It's up to each of us to make that little extra effort to bring ourselves together and celebrate those holidays with joy and reverence as they should be celebrated. How to Host a Virtual Dinner Party can help you with that, aspect of it.🎉🎉🎉

Then there's the decorating aspect that  Homemade Easter Wreaths has a lot of ideas for wreaths to make and further down the page there's links to lots more Easter baking and activities for the kids.  Plus there's more Easter decoration ideas had at DIY Easter Decorations 2020🎈🎈🎈

Now a lot of us are spending our days cooking and baking - trying new techniques and recipes as a way to not only put food on the table, but as a means of killing time - you might call that learning or developing a new hobby. So maybe some of you would prefer a more practical purpose for these cooking and baking forays, as in cooking/baking up something good for the upcoming holidays that are fast approaching. If so here's a few more links to recipes that are holiday appropriate, that you may want to try this year: 🍲🍴🍷🍪

I really do believe that as long as we live we should celebrate everyday of our lives. Life is a gift that can be snatched away at any time. Our daughter was taken from us in early 2013, at the age of 31, from cancer. So life is precious and as long as we have life we have something worth protecting and celebrating. There's no reason to not celebrate these holidays this year unless you're grieving a loved one, but if your loved one is anything like our daughter was, they would rather see you happy, and celebrating your life rather than grieving theirs. As someone said back around the time my daughter died. Life is made up of choices you can choose to be happy, or your can choose to be sad, or anxious, or afraid. It's all up to you, so for your sake choose to be happy and put the rest out of your mind. And live and love life while you can, as it's much too short to do otherwise. So please have a HAPPY HOLIDAY  for yourself  and your loved ones, as all of your loved ones, living and deceased and I, would wish for you. 

So I tried to present you with a grounded start if this year has you flummoxed and floundering for some normalcy and cheer.  So please enjoy the preparations for your holiday festivities as much as the actual holiday. It'll put your focus on something else more cheerful rather than just the gloom and doom out there in the world today.
