 The Best Day Of My Life
Gregory M Lousignont

 
 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 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 know tomorrow
is going to be the best day of my life, ever!
