Today,
when I awoke, I suddenly realized that this is
the best day of my life, ever!
There were times when I wondered if I would make it to
today; but I did!
And because I did I'm going to celebrate!
Today, I'm going to celebrate what an unbelievable life I
have had so far:
the accomplishments,
the many blessings,
and, yes, even the hardships
because they have served to make me stronger.
I will go through this day with my head held high and a
happy heart.
I will marvel at God's seemingly simple gifts:
the morning dew,
the sun,
the clouds,
the trees,
the flowers,
the birds.
Today, none of these miraculous creations will escape my
notice.
Today, I will share my excitement for life with other
people.
I'll make someone smile.
I'll go out of my way to perform an unexpected act of
kindness for someone I don't even know.
Today, I'll give a sincere compliment to someone who seems
down.
I'll tell a child how special he is, and I'll tell someone I
love just how deeply I care for them and how much they mean
to me.
Today is the day I quit worrying about what I don't have and
start being grateful for all the wonderful things God has
already given me.
I'll remember that to worry is just a waste of time because
my faith in God and his Divine Plan ensures everything will
be just fine.
And tonight, before I go to bed, I'll go outside and raise
my eyes to the heavens. I will stand in awe at the beauty of
the stars and the moon, and I will praise God for these
magnificent treasures.
As the day ends and I lay my head down on my pillow,
I will thank the Almighty for the best day of my life.
And I will sleep the sleep of a contented child excited with
expectation because I know tomorrow is going to be
