The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
- Oprah Winfrey


Sorry for another bowl of "chicken soup" ;-), but I do like this phrase by Oprah, even I'm not really a fan.

Terrence E. Deal also had similar thought but in bigger scope:  "Celebrations infuse life with passion and purpose. They summon the human spirit, reattach us to our roots, and help us soar toward new visions. Celebrations touch our hearts and fire our imaginations, bonding people together and connecting us to shared myths and values."

So, we should all keep being positive about self and life, and that has a special meaning for me today.

I joined APAD gang on Feb 18th, a day after I was suddenly cheering out loud: "Just realized Y I like APAD: it's not aboutEnglish, butLife!"  https://bbs.wenxuecity.com/mysj/306699.html
It has been interesting and fulfilling 6 months and 50 APAD posts (from me) since, I can't believe I made it this far.   A big THANK to you all my dear friends, as it is your encouragement and kindness made it happen!!!

To mark and celebrate this occasion, I tried to cast my APADs together (see below), but stopped half way, as it's just too lo .....ng  

Cheers to All!

No pig wrestle, lips are sealed
Out sight & mind, nothing ventured & gained
Long journey from 1st step, race won by 2Ss
Sunday well spent, action over words
Music food of love, giving credit due
Still waters run deep, April fool
No Rome in one day, kingdom for a horse
Present is the best, many of hands
Curious cat, to thine own self be true
Brave strong happy, go plant a garden
All comes to end, true friend is rare
Silver lining cloud, follow Wilbur's plan

He's still celebrating


Husband takes the wife to a disco. There’s a guy on the dance floor giving it large – break dancing, moon walking, back flips, the works. The wife turns to her husband and says: "See that guy? 25 years ago he proposed to me and I turned him down." Husband says: "Looks like he’s still  celebrating!!"
