Okay...so I'm trying to find something to keep me going today. I found this and am sharing it with all of you. This is being printed out and every time I feel like crying or I can't go on, I am going to pull it out, read it and go forward. -FIM
The Best Day of My Life! (Author Unknown)
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.
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 or she is,
and I'll tell someone I love
just how deeply I care for them
and how much he or 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.
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.
