Some weeks you take walks in the woods or go sing at the nursing home. You pay your dues. As sundown approaches on Sabbath evening, you can hear an announcer counting down. . . . And you shoot out of the bonds of tiresome inactivity to do something fun before the whole weekend is shot. You wouldn't think of your child's birthday party or your wedding ceremony that way.
Celebration is more an attitude and less a bunch of activities to do.
After all, you can get married anywhere you chose, with or without elaborate decorations, among friends or just with a few witnesses. It's the spirit of the participants that marks it as a celebration. They are full of joy and exuberance, love and happiness. So you get up from your desk, maybe chat with a neighbor down the hall, get a drink of water from the cooler, and stretch your legs. When you return to your work, you catch your second wind and go right on.
