Rockingham Remembered
Wilson's Picks
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 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 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 I know tomorrow is going to be the
best day of my life, ever!
