Make it special

Think of what you can do to make this day special and memorable. There are plenty of opportunities.

You could spend a few minutes walking or sitting quietly in the park, listening to the gentle wind as it blows in the trees above. You could telephone a friend just to say hello and enjoy a real and meaningful conversation.

You could take your child to discover a new and exciting place. You could give your time and attention to someone who is lonely.

It doesn’t require a lot of money or even very much time to place a unique, glittering jewel of an experience in the middle of your life each day. With a little imagination, every single day can be a special, memorable one for you and for those around you.

The more you make use of the positive possibilities in your life, the more richness your life will have. Get in the habit of seeing each day as the unique and valuable gift that it is. Make it special, make it memorable, and make it count.
