Discovering the joy of traditions

I have been reflecting recently on traditions. This has been prompted in response to hearing something a good friend shared with me as she grieved the recent passing of her nana. One of the traditions that had evolved over time in her family was ‘Generation Day’. She described this as a day that her family celebrates love! ‘Generation Day’ was celebrated in her family on the thirteenth of every month and it involved being the first family on that day to say ‘Happy Generation Day’ to each other! What started off years ago as a gentle effort by family members to win, evolved into some creative and memorable efforts including one time when her nana wrote it on a napkin and held it up to the window before letting her in, and other times when a phone call on the thirteen would commence simply with family members yelling ‘Happy Generation Day’ to each other as quickly as possible.
