We are on a journey of self-discovery and along the way we overcome obstacles, gain strength and develop joy.  We are overcome with the good in our lives and it is the time we celebrate.  Be proud of ourselves and bask in our strength and joy, not only for ourselves but for a beacon for others to find the good in their journey and overcome their own battles and defeats.  We celebrate because we will never be defeated as long as we keep taking one step forward on our path.
