~SPIRITUAL~ A DAY AT A TIME
01/04 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
For a good part of my life, I saw things mostly in negative terms. Everything was serious, heavy, or just plain awful. Perhaps now I can truly change my attitude, searching out the winners in The Program who have learned how to live comfortably in the real world -- without numbing their brains with mood-altering chemicals. IF THINGS GET ROUGH TODAY, CAN I TAKE A QUIET MOMENT AND SAY TO MYSELF, AS THE PHILOSOPHER HOMER ONCE SAID, "BEAR PATIENTLY, MY HEART -- FOR YOU HAVE SUFFERED HEAVIER THINGS..."?
TODAY I PRAY
May the peace of God that passes all human understanding fill the place within me that once harbored my despair. May an appreciation for living -- even for life's trials -- cancel out my old negative attitudes. During heart-heavy moments, help to remind me that my heart was once much heavier still.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
I, too, am a winner.
