Some people have… something.
I don’t know how to describe it, really. It’s a happy bubble. A little shine inside that spills out. A sparkle.
Birdie has that sparkle. It’s a little effervescence that floats around her, that lights up her eyes and every room she walks into. It’s a glow that radiates from her wherever she goes. It attracts people, and makes everyone remember her already memorable name.
“Hi, Birdie!” is the constant echo as she walks down the halls at symphony.
“Birdie!” ten little girls squeal as she opens the door at group violin lessons.
The funny thing is that she’s not exceptionally extroverted, and is completely content to wallflower her way through an event. But still… she sparkles. And that makes people smile.
The world needs these shiny, happy people. We need these glittering sparks that wander amongst us. They make our homes and hearts a little warmer, and our daily routines that much more fun. I hope you are blessed to have a sparkle in your family.
