There is no reason to feel this way
I haven’t won the lottery
No one died and left me a fortune
I still have to work
My eight hour shift
Doing something I do every day
And wishing I were somewhere else
I still have to eat the atkins friendly diet
And think about the times
I used to be so thin
I still fell asleep
With tears on my pillow
Because of things
I can never ever change
And yet
Like the winner of a marathon
I woke up exhilarated
Looking forward to the day
Like I had a party to attend
Or a dream had suddenly come true
No explanation available
Life sometime gives us these little perks
And today
I woke up happy

It's good to wake up happy!

I still have to eat the atkins friendly diet
And think about the times
I used to be so thin

I know what you mean, but to heck with the Atkins diet, I start the day on Slimfast and today I'll finish with apple pie and ice-cream, guess who is going to bed happy?! Jackie <> <

Nothing better than to wake up with a happy simling face and the feeling that all is good today but I think sometimes we need those bad days to just make us appreciate the good days more
