There is literally almost nothing better than waking up with a slight smile on your face and when you stumble into the bathroom instead of that sleep-eyed barely awake figure you see yourself- smile and all- staring back with a twinkle in your eyes. No matter where your day turns after that, you can be reminded by how simply happy you felt earlier that morning, and then all will be ok.
I also awoke with John Mayer in my head singing "I know the heart of life is good, I know it's good!". Such a great song!
And if you think about it, what is at the center of the heart of life? Our creator, the God of the universe, and all the goodness that he has created.
When we place our faith in Christ, God gives us the Holy Spirit, a beautiful, wonderful and powerful gift that rests in our hearts.
And the "fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control" (Galatians 5:22,23). And who doesn't want love and joy and peace and goodness?

A bit of poetry, rambles, thoughts and prayers to go along with your morning coffee.
Two cents
"The definition of success--To laugh much; to win respect of intelligent persons and the affections of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give one's self; to leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm, and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived--this is to have succeeded."
-Emerson
