~SPIRITUAL~ A DAY AT A TIME

REFLECTIONS FOR THE DAY I believe today that I have a right to make spiritual progress.  I have a right to be emotionally mature.  I ahve a right to take pleasure in my own company, and that makes me more pleasant to be with.  I also have a right to become willing--deeply willing, entirely willing--to make amends  to all those I've harmed.  Because I can now accept myself the way I am, I can accept other people the way they are--not entirely, but to a much greater degree than in the past.  HAVE I BEGUN TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH GOD, AND THUS WITH MYSELF?

TODAY I PRAY May God show me that it's okay to like myself, even while trying to repair old wrongs and rebuild from splinters.  May I keep telling myself that I am different now, I have changed, I am a better and wiser and healthier person, I have made some good choices.  As this "new person," may I find it easier to make atonements for what happened long ago and in another spiritual place.  May those I have wronged also find it easier to accept my amends.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER It's okay to like myself.

hugss with love

I'll tell ya...THIS one is so difficult for me to "learn". :)  It's taken me 49 years and counting and I still haven't gotten it fully yet! :) I used to ,live by "Progress NOT Perfection" when I weightlifted, and when Michelle reminded me of it last week it really helped!  Thanks for posting this Rhonda!! (love the icon, btw) :) Hugs, Marie
