There were times in my life 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 make me stronger.
I will go through this day with my head held high, and with a happy heart. I will marvel at God's seemingly simple gifts: The snow covered yards, the iced over trees, the sight, feel, and safety of the warmth we embrace inside a home looking out amongst the snow storm. 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 while deeply embracing them during a dance in the snow.
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.
What an amazing entry baby bird, I am so proud of your amazing talent of writing. So proud to spend "the best day of your life" right next to you! I love you!
