~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME
04/29 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
As I grow in The Program -- sharing, caring, and becoming more and more active -- I find that it's becoming easier to live in the Now. Even my vocabulary is changing. No longer is every other sentence salted with such well-used phrases as "could've," "should've," "would've," "might've." What's done is done and what will be will be. The only time that really matters is Now. AM I GAINING REAL PLEASURE AND SERENITY AND PEACE IN THE PROGRAM?
TODAY I PRAY
That I may collect all my scattered memories from the past and high-flown schemes and overblown fears for the future and compact them into the neater confines of Today. Only by living in the Now may I keep my balance, without bending backwards to the past or tipping forward into the future. May I stop trying to get my arms around my whole unwieldy lifetime and carry it around in a gunny sack with me wherever I go.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Make room for today.
