Chief Cushie ~MaryO~ Posted April 16, 2022 Chief Cushie Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 I used to carry a print out of this everywhere I go because I find it very soothing. This print out was in a plastic page saver. On the other side there is a Psalm 116, part of the post from Day Nineteen of the 2015 Cushing’s Challenge. These days, both these readings are available on my phone. I first read this in Chicken Soup for the Surviving Soul and is posted several places online. The Best Day Of My Life by Gregory M Lousignont 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 know tomorrow is going to be the best day of my life, ever! When I’m feeling down, depressed or low, reading my 2 special pages can help me more than anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Cushie ~MaryO~ Posted April 16 Author Chief Cushie Report Share Posted April 16 Boy, I really needed to reread this again today. Many thanks again...to me!...for sharing. Except for my new "hobby" of learning the balalaika, everything is seeming painful, blah, boring and, at times, plain annoying. (this is my group, but was made a few years before I joined) I have to try to remember that TODAY is The Best Day Of My Life - no matter what!
