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 the best day of my life, ever!
