The Best Day of My Life

The Best Day of My Life

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 a great life I have had so far;
the accomplishments, the many blessings, and, 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 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 they are,

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

I have already been given.

I'll remember that to worry is just a waste of time

because my faith ensures everything will be just fine.

And tonight, before I go to bed,

I'll go outside and raise my eyes to the skies.
I will stand in awe at the beauty of the stars and the moon,

and I will be grateful for these magnificent treasures.

As the day ends and I lay my head down on my pillow,
I will thank Goodness 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!
