Oct. 12, 2006 - Best Day of Your 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 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 the Universe'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 him and how much he means 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 in the Divine Plan ensures everything will be just fine.
And tonight, before I go to bed, I'll go outside and as I raise my eyes
to the heavens,  I'll stand in awe at the beauty of the stars and the
moon.

As the day ends and I lay my head down on my pillow, I will give thanks
for the best day of my life.  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!
