♥ - WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD 03/26/2013 - ♥

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.

I have a play 

the melody philosophy.

It means don't over-arrange,

don't make life difficult.

Just play the melody—

and do it

the simplest way possible.

My Dreams Are Worth It

Everyone you meet, 

everything you encounter, etc. – 

they’re all part of the learning 

experience we call ‘life.’ 

Never forget to acknowledge the lesson, 

especially when things don’t go your way. 

If you don’t get a job that you wanted

 or a relationship doesn’t work, 

it only means something better

 is out there waiting. 

And the lesson you just learned 

is the first step towards it. 

Remember,

 there are no mistakes,

 only lessons.

 Love yourself, 

trust your choices,

 remember what you deserve,

 and keep pushing forward.

Coffee Filter as Yogurt Strainer

For a dip that doesn't taste watered down, 

strain your yogurt before using it. 

Secure a paper coffee filter 

over the mouth of a deep cup or jar 

with a rubber band then pour in some yogurt. 

Any liquid in the yogurt will drain 

through the filter.
