Enjoy this poem – and reflect on things in this day (the simple things) that give you a happy heart.
Today, when I woke up, I suddenly realized that this is the best day of my life ever!
There were times when I wondered if I would make it today; but I did!
And because I did I’m going to celebrate!
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.
the morning dew, the sun, the clouds, the trees, the flowers, the birds.
Today, I will share my excitement for life with other people.
unexpected act of kindness for someone I don’t even know.
just how deeply I care for them and how much they mean to me.
start being grateful for all the wonderful things God has already given me.
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 praise God for these magnificent treasures.
I will thank the Almighty for the best day of my life.
