Some days your best accomplishment is that you survived. You made it 24 hours.

It may not sound like much. It may not have been what you set out to do when the alarm went off at 6:25 am.

But you know what? It’s an accomplishment. Go ahead. Give yourself a pat on the back.

I look at it this way. Being alive means that God still has plans for you. He has a reason for you being here.

So celebrate that in whatever manner you choose, whether that’s a big bowl of ice cream, a large plate of chocolate cookies fresh out of the oven, a binge-marathon of your favorite TV show, or maybe something healthy like a jog or some quality time on the treadmill.

And maybe thank God while you’re at it.
