New Year's Day Daily Reflection
As this year 2011 begins a new year, as well as a new decade, I wish each and every one of you the peace and strength necessary to live life fully and not be weighed down by the baggage of all of your yesterday's, look back, take what was learned and live today, for truly that is all any of us have!
Living today
The beginning of the New Year will often bring back sad memories. This has been the big day for hangovers, coming down, remorse, guilt, and shame. But if we stay with our new purpose - staying clean and staying close to our Higher Power - we don't have to fear the New Year. God has forgiven our past mistakes and tomorrow is not yet here. If we do what we know is right today, all else will be taken care of.
It's not always easy to do what is necessary today, but it's impossible to change yesterday or to guarantee what tomorrow will bring. Our year will unfold better by living each day as it comes instead of regretting the past or anticipating the future.
Am I learning to live one day at a time?
I pray for the willingness to deal with today, instead of being obsessed with the past or the future.

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Thanks for saying so, I've gotten positive feedback from having posted them and so I will continue to do so. Whether or not I receive responses is not the reason I post them and I know, since you know me, that I share them just because I find them of help to me and believe others can benefit from them too, as more often than not, they hit home for me, but I do appreciate your stating that you enjoy them, it makes me feel good to know so.
Happy New Year and best wishes for the year/decade ahead!
Hugs, Laureen
