Anniversary

"Do you know what today is?, it's our anniversary."-Anniversary by Tony!Toni!Tone!

I recently completed two years of posts! Thanks everyone! This makes me think about anniversaries and how we celebrate. Celebrating the smaller milestones help us to get to the larger ones. How do you set anniversaries? Are your relationship milestones celebrated at an equal or larger rate than your career milestones? or any other areas of your life for that matter?

We tend to think of couples when we think of anniversaries. Anniversaries are usually associated with relationship celebrations. The couple chooses the date and celebrates around the date as much as they want to or don't want to. The date might be their first meeting, or a day they decided to be partnered up. Much like birthdays, I guess except we did not choose that date. Thanks to social media and sites like linkedin.com, anniversaries don't only have to be about couples. Work anniversaries are recognized. What other anniversaries do you celebrate?

Anniversaries are great to set to celebrate small and large accomplishments. Celebrating the small ones, help work up to keep us motivated for the big ones. A friend of mine just recently purchased her first home. It is great to watch her celebrate by hosting people. I can see that her closing date will be an important anniversary to celebrate. What are other ways in which we can celebrate significant milestones?

Everyone deserves a celebration. Celebrate all that you are. Regardless of setting dates or not, you still can celebrate. Setting dates is a reminder for us to celebrate. What will you choose to set anniversaries dates for? Put your dates on the calendar and dare to make actual plans to celebrate. Don't wait for others to celebrate you, honor who you are and take the initiative.
