A DAY AT A TIME

REFLECTION FOR THE DAY

If I live just one day at a time, I won't so quickly entertain fears of what might happen tomorrow.  As long as I'm concentrating on today's activities, there won't be room in my mind for worrying.  I'll try to fill every minute of this day with something good -- see, heard, accomplished.  Then, when the day is ended, I'll be able to look back on it with satisfaction, serenity and gratitude.  Do I sometimes cherish bad feelings so that I can feel sorry for myself?

TODAY I PRAY

That I will get out of the self-pity act and live for today.  May I notice the good things from dawn to nightfall, learn to talk about them and thank God for them.  May I catch myself if I seem to be relishing my moans and complaints more often than appreciating the goodness of my life.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER

Today is good.
