TODAY IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

"The Best Day of My Life" is the title for a little poem I found on a piece of paper on my desk this morning. I don't remember where it came from. I love it and this is the state of my heart today! "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 what an unbelievable life I've had so far: the accomplishments, the many blessings, and, yes, even the hardships because they have served to make me stronger. I will go throughout 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 jut a waste of time because my faith in God and His divine plan ensures everything will be just fine. Tonight, before I got 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 the 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....the best day of my life!" Author unknown
