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 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 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!
