"Best Day Ever"
Do you want to hear about my best day ever?

I wake up to the sound of the birds singing and telling me how wonderful this day is, while reminding me that there's no seed in the feeder.

My focus is good. Important things are important. I believe I can fly:)

My friends are important. I contact them to make sure all is going well for them. Uh-oh - one is feeling a bit down. I give comfort where comfort is needed. Without all these friends, I would feel alone, and unable to share my caring.

I work hard. It feels good. I am needed, productive and fairly smart;)

My family, most important to me, are caring and concerned. I treasure each of them and make sure they know it.

Things are happening in the world that makes me shutter. The good thing is that I hurt for all the trouble. I hurt, therefore I feel.

I fear. I worry about my friends, my family and the world in general and pray that all come through their trails and tribulations okay. This is good. This fear brings home what is really important to me.

My dogs......happy, sassy and full of life are doing great. They are so happy to see me. They accept me for me - no matter how grouchy I might get. I have a pillow that says "My goal in life is to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am. I truly believe in their case, that I have met that goal and hope that I show that to everyone I meet.

I enjoy the silly things. I play a little to keep my inner child alive. Looking through the child's eyes allows me to be open to color, music, life in a way that adults lose sight of. I laugh a lot - good for the soul.

I love. I have so much of it to give. My feelings are occasionally shaken, but how awful it would be to close myself up and not give others the benefit of this wealth I carry.

My best day ever is full. My best day ever is satisfying.

My best day ever is today!
