We often think of celebrations as centering around special occasions, like Birthdays, Christmas, or other holidays. But there is no need to wait for those times. Everyday is a cause for celebration. The very fact that you are alive, the wondrous world around you, and the special people in your life are all reasons to rejoice. That's what this book is all about. Over 500 suggestions for living life to the fullest. A compendium of "glass half full" common sense, these witty and wise words from both the rich and famous, as well as the not-so-rich and the not-so-famous, will, I hope, inspire you to make every day a special day. Pianist Artur Rubinstein once said, "To be alive, it's all a miracle." Yes indeed, it is all a miracle, and all a cause for celebration.
I was expecting something completely different when I started this book. Some sort of story or self-help but instead found a collection of quotes from famous influentials categorized into different themes. After learning that’s all it was, I was skeptical about reading it, but in the end really enjoyed some of the quotes and did think a few of them very profound. I felt happier after reading this.
So I would say that it was short and pleasant, not something I would read again, and a title that was a bit misleading, but still good overall.
This book is lovely. I like thinking of it as a devotional for everyday. Everyday is special and each page is filled with quotes that inspire you to find the joy in each moment. There are quotes for birthdays and holidays as well as everyday. I think this book would be a nice gift. It is beautifully printed. I think this would be a nice go to book when you are looking for something poignant to say to someone on a holiday or when you need cheering up on a bad day.
