What I truly meant was I am lucky “I woke up this morning”...
I heard a preacher say that one time...Dr. Stanley on t.v.!
He was telling those who thought they had nothing to be thankful for....he said “Think about it, you can be thankful that God let you wake up this morning.” I have always remembered that!

It was raining earlier and we have a nice 70 right now. Usually July and August are our HOTTEST months but we have had a cool July and I’m not complaining. I heard the Mayor say the same thing. He said they had the coolest July in 66 years.

Thanks for the beautiful music, Luv!

Soup and cornbread is about ready!

It's always a blessing to wake up. This is one of my reasons





Today is the Best Day of My Life


 
  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 nature'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 nature 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!
