It’s the last day for the Champagne Moment practice – did you join in? Did you nominate a Champagne Moment every day? Or did you find this one difficult? I know on very ‘ho hum’ days, I struggled to find a Champagne Moment…and for a few days, I was so busy having fun, I forgot to nominate Champagne Moments! But on every day that I really participated in this practice, I felt good. Even, perhaps especially, those ‘ho hum’ days – I still found something to nominate as a Champagne Moment, whether it was the sun shining, my dog making me laugh, a parcel being delivered (I LOVE post that isn’t bills – it’s one of my favourite things!), getting a piece of work done, that moment on a really long day when you’re shattered and you finally get into bed, the moment I opened up a new book to read (I LOVE books!).
None of these things are particularly exciting, glamorous, or earth-shattering, but the Champagne Moment doesn’t need to be, it just needs to be something that lit you up during the month. Something that to YOU was a good moment. Something worth raising a glass to (not necessarily literally – my liver couldn’t cope!). This practice is just about acknowledging the good in your life EVERY DAY. Even the humdrum, ordinary days. The more we celebrate and enjoy our lives (especially when they’re a bit boring!), the more we realise how much we have to celebrate and enjoy and the more we can fall in love with these wonderful, one and only lives we are living.
I may keep this practice going on my facebook page and twitter so make sure you’re following me to get the occasional nudge to remind you to look for those wonderful moments of delight in life!
And please, leave me a comment to let me know how you got on with this practice – even if you struggled, I’d love to hear about it.
Love
