Today's Reflection

Today I accept the fact that I have made mistakes.

I find comfort in knowing that, in the past, I did what I thought was right at the time. What makes my mistakes seem so bad is that I judge them by what I know today. I know more than I did then, and less than I will tomorrow.

I trust that, in the future, I will not make the same mistakes. I have more information now, and I will be able to handle things differently and make wiser choices. I accept myself for who I was then and for who I am today.

Thank you for this, Laureen.

Laureen, loved this! Have a great weekend! YOU are awesome. Hugs Debbie

Amen to that!!  A lot of my journey involved forgiving myself.  I made a lot of poor decisions, but I was living in a world badly distorted by my disease-spiritual, mental, and physical.  Plus depression, undiagnosed for many years. 

A lot of serenity resulted from being able to forgive myself and move on, recognizing that I did the best I could then and can do better today and can strive to continue doing better each day through recovery. 

Serenity really is a blessing.

Have a great weekend.
