Sunday, September 28, 2014 You are reading from the book Today's Gift One is happy as a result of one's own efforts, tastes, a certain degree of courage, self-denial to a point, love of work, and, above all, a clear conscience. Happiness is no vague dream, of that I now feel certain. —George Sand "We always go get a hot fudge sundae after the school choir concert," the girl said. Her parents laughed because their daughter said always, and they had only gone to a school choir concert once. Then the parents realized that the girl really had a great idea. "Yes," the mother said, "we always get a sundae because we like to make up new traditions. We'll have to be sure and do it tonight so we don't let the tradition fall apart before it even gets started!" They all laughed together and started debating which restaurant had the best hot fudge sundae. We all need to have special traditions with our families. We need celebrations that have nothing to do with official holidays. Family holidays can mean so much more to us sometimes because they celebrate our shared experiences in life and become the source of happy memories for a lifetime. What tradition can I start today?

Always buy myself a treat on pay day. Whenever I get a cheque, I get something special for me. It is often spent on food and it disappears. If it is food, it is a food treat. For many years is was buying a pound of butter because I couldn't afford it regularly. In today, it is often a muffin or a donut, something that is not good as a steady diet because of my diabetes. I do have to watch though, sometimes I find that I spoil myself rotten.
