BEGINNING TODAY

Beginning today I will no longer worry about yesterday.
It is in the past and the past will never change.
Only I can change by choosing to do so.

Beginning today I will no longer worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow will always be there, waiting for me to make
the most of it.
But I cannot make the most of tomorrow without first
making the most of today.

Beginning today I will look in the mirror and I will
see a person worthy of my respect and admiration.
This capable person looking back at me is someone I
enjoy spending time with and someone I would like to
get to know better.

Beginning today I will cherish each moment of my life.
I value this gift bestowed upon me in this world and
I will unselfishly share this gift with others.
I will use this gift to enhance the lives of others.

Beginning today I will take a moment to step off the
beaten path and to revel in the mysteries I encounter.
I will face challenges with courage and determination.
I will overcome what barriers there may be which hinder
my quest for growth and self-improvement.

Beginning today I will take life one day at a time,
one step at a time.
Discouragement will not be allowed to taint my
positive self-image,
my desire to succeed or my capacity to love.

Beginning today I walk with renewed faith in human
kindness.
Regardless of what has gone before, I believe there
is hope for a brighter and better future.

Beginning today I will open my mind and my heart.
I will welcome new experiences. I will meet new
people.
I will not expect perfection from myself nor
anyone else: perfection does not exist in an
imperfect world.
But I will applaud the attempt to overcome human
foibles.

Beginning today I am responsible for my own
happiness and I will do things that make me happy . . .
admire the beautiful wonders of nature, listen to my
favorite music, pet a kitten or a puppy, soak in a
bubble bath . . .pleasure can be found in the most
simple of gestures.

Beginning today I will learn something new; I will
try something different; I will savor all the
various flavors life has to offer.
I will change what I can and the rest I will let go.
I will strive to become the best me I can possibly be.

Beginning today. And every day.

Hi you two! Glad to see you're both up and about. Hope this means you're both better now. I'm gonna give this a shot and see how long I can last this time. It might be a good idea to keep that ambulance Tonk so kindly provided close by...just in case! LOL I tried to coordinate all these critters to carry me around but to no avail. (siiiigh!) Too darned independent, they are.
