The Best Day Of My Life
by Gregory M. Lousignont, Ph.D.
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 I know
tomorrow is going to be the best day of my life, ever!
