Happy Birthday!!!

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 hardshipsbecause 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 them and how much they mean 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 becauseI know tomorrow is going to be the best day of my life, ever!

LOVE AND LIGHT TO YOU MY SWEET FRIEND
