One reason my best friend is my best friend is she knows how to celebrate each day to the fullest.  She is an inspiration to me, and I have become more positive and full of light due to our friendship.

[amazon_link id=”1936740559″ target=”_blank” ]Always Look on the Bright Side: Celebrating Each Day to the Fullest[/amazon_link] by Allen Klein is a book of inspirational quotes:

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.

The book is arranged by sections about “Celebrate Today”, “Celebrate Special Days”, “Celebrate the Seasons”, “Celebrate Special People”, and “Celebrate Yourself and Your Work”.

I randomly opened the book to the page on Thanksgiving, which is appropriate as the holiday that has just passed.  Some of my favorite quotes for this holiday included in [amazon_link id=”1936740559″ target=”_blank” ]Always Look on the Bright Side: Celebrating Each Day to the Fullest[/amazon_link] are

Gratitude is one of the sweet shortcuts

to finding peace of mind and happiness inside.

No matter what’s going on outside of us,

there’s always something we could be grateful for.

-Barry Neil Kaufman

Sometimes our light goes out but is blown

into flame by another human being.

Each of us owes deepest thanks to those

who have rekindled this light.

-Albert Schweitzer

This is a lovely book to leave on the coffee table or bathroom for a little inspiration each day. It is also a great resource for quotes to include in cards or emails to special people on special days.
