Make Every Day Special
“Be thankful and look to every new day with positive hope.
Take time to pull yourself away from all the noise and just look around you. Take inventory. Appreciate those who have enhanced the quality of your life, and remember that they have been a gift to you. Also remember that you’re a gift to them too.
Be grateful for the choices you’ve made, both good and bad. Accept your mistakes; you can’t change them anyway. Apply what you’ve learned and go on. Use these lessons to help you with other decisions in life. Appreciate yourself and your own uniqueness.
Go outside and look at the sky. Soak in the atmosphere. Enjoy the colors of the landscape. Feel the textures of every place you are that you’re thankful for. Smile at the world. Don’t allow any negative feelings to creep into your consciousness. Feel the power of your own acceptance. Put a positive spin on every thought you have.
Make every day special. Own it. Enjoy it. Bask in the glory of life. Appreciate the gift of your own life.”

It’s my birthday and there’s a celebration going on! Today I’m not just reflecting on the past week, I’m also reflecting on my life and the many blessings God has given me. Here are a few things that I’m grateful for and which remind me that every day is special!
- A Saviour who died for me
- A husband who loves me
- Children who look up to me
- A family that stays close
- Friends to do life with
- A purpose that moves me
What about you? You can celebrate even when it’s not your birthday. What reminds you to celebrate life everyday?
About Sparkle Moments
Here at Sparkle Moments I enjoy sharing little glimpses of sparkle with you. This is where I reflect on my week and remember how awesome our God is. Consider this your weekend inspiration, that jumping off point that encourages you to enjoy a weekend that sparkles!
What is a Sparkle Moment?
- Living in the Caribbean, I am fortunate to be surrounded by amazing beauty. I get to see beautiful sunsets, bright blue skies, sparkling blue waters, and white sandy beaches, almost everyday. Enjoying God’s creation is pure SPARKLE, no matter what part of the world you live in.
- Every now and again there are those little everyday moments when something special happens. A butterfly pauses long enough for the camera shutter, a little girl dances in the rain, someone says a kind word that lifts your spirits…ahhh…SPARKLE!
- On the flip side, we have some days when there’s no sun, no shine. It’s a plain and gloomy day until we create our own sparkle. Sometimes a pick-me-up is what we need! When we choose to add our own beauty, those moments can SPARKLE too.
Sparkle Moments come in all shapes and sizes, but one thing’s for sure, they make our hearts sing!
