Unexpected

For some particular reason, today my heart is filled with sadness. I looked back on all the comments my dad left on my blog. He was so proud of me.

I can't quite wrap my mind around why today I am so thoughtful of him.

The date has no significance.

Nothing special really happened.

I just feel a strong urge to share the words my dad wrote.

Take them in and let them speak to you wherever you are in life.

"May your eyes look upon a world filled with joy and love this season and all seasons.
May your troubles be few and far between.
May you always feel the love around you and know there is a mighty Creator watching out for you. And may your sunny side always be up.
May you overcome all of what will surely seem like obstacles, and recognize that they are really lessons placed there by a Higher Being we all need to learn.
May you learn something new each day which brings greater peace and joy to all your tomorrows.
May the wind be at your back all along your journey and may you always land on your feet if you should stumble.
May you always appreciate the beauty of Nature and may your flowers always bloom.
May you each day more and more enjoy the fruits of your generous kindnesses to others and may know that each one of your good deeds will come back to bless you many times over.
May the rest of the world see you as I do, a colorful and wonderful flower of humanity who makes the world a better place to be.
So remember always when life throws you a curveball all you need to do is Keep the Sunny Side Up and don't let anything get you down.
Remember that tomorrow's another day and each new day brings with it more and more miracles.
Don't sweat the small stuff and keep your eyes on the Big Picture.
And no matter what you do, just make sure that you always keep the sunny side up.
You need not be careful or careless.You need merely cast your cares upon our Loving Creator because he cares for you because He loves you.
May you never underestimate the power of being under God's care. It is the power that moves mountains.
And when the appointed time comes for your body to leave this earth, may your spirit return once again to God our Creator.
May you always count your blessings and may your troubles be too few to count.
May your heart always be filled with songs of joy."
