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 some-
one I love just how deeply I care for her and how
much she 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 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!
