What's the best thing about today?

Thanks VOX! I wanted to do a positive 'sunny day' post and here it is, your QotD. Yahoo!

I woke up this morning and the sun was shining brilliantly. There's still some snow on the ground from a recent storm and the land in every direction is glittering. The sky is cloudless and a shade of blue that makes me confident that summer will come. This year's 4 month bout with Seasonal Affective Disorder is over. We have passed the daylight threshold that seems to drop the wet blanket on my soul (where it freezes in these northern climes). It is no longer a challenge to be positive, and look at the bright side, and believe in the best outcome, and go with the program. Happy days are here again. Every little thing is gonna be alright. Fill your heart with joy. Laugh and sing. This day is a celebration because it came and ended the dark cold night. I cannot wish for another day. I am too busy rejoicing in this one I've been given.

Please smile and pass it along today.

Or pass this along. e.e. cummings wrote in "i thank You God for most this amazing":

i thank You God for most this amazing day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes (i who have died am alive again today, and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth day of life and love and wings:and of the gay great happening illimitably earth)...
