Best day of my life (extracts)

 
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/she 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 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!
