Thoughts on occasions in calender
We often hear mom saying, everyday is mother’s day if my kids are filial..
Couples saying, everyday can be valentine’s day if we are in love..
People saying, I’m not Christian, so Christmas is just another day for me..
I do agree to some of the saying above, but i choose to think an extra step furthur..
I always believe anniversary, holidays and other meaningful dates are opporunity to show appreciation. We are living in such a fast pace and stressful world until we often forget to value the people close to us. They are so near until we lost focus on them. I believe meaningful dates serve us a reminded on have we forgotten about someone, or to take a break and spend effort appreciating someone.
To me, these dates are also reasons to create miracles. For example, to salvage a relationship? to apologize? to visit a long lost person?
Lastly, have we forgotten to prioritize the value of each date? Is Christmas for partying only? Is chinese new year for ang baos & food only? Is valentine’s day about flowers and dinner only?
