Challenge 8/21/03

With each new day I put away the past and discover the new beginnings I have been given.
--Angela L Wozniak

We can't recapture what is no more. And the minutes or hours we spend dwelling on what was or should have been only steal away from all that presently is. Today stands before us with promise. The oppoirtunities for growth are guaranteed, as is all the spiritual help we need to handle any situation the day offers.

If today offers us a challenge, we can be grateful. Our challenges are gifts. They mean we are ready to move ahead to new awarenesses, to a new sense of our womanhood. Challenges force us to think creatively; they force us to turn to others; they demand that we change. Without challenges, we'd stagnate, enjoying life little, offering life nothing.

We each are making a special contribution, one that only we can make, each time we dare to open a new door. What we need to do today is to close the door on yesterday. Then we can stand ready and willing to go forward.

This day awaits my full presence. I will be the recipient of it's gifts.

Each Day a New Beginning ~ Daily Meditations for Women

This was good for me to read this morning. I can dread a simple task for hours, even though it may take only an hour to do. So, I sometimes spend more time worrying about stuff than I spend doing it.

It was nice to let go and really put this into practice today, what a difference staying in the moment makes.

[Paulie]

Doing that makes a huge difference in my life. It is something that I have to practice everyday, sometimes several times a day.

In early recovery I had a hard time with things I did while using, the people I hurt, etc. learning to let that go is huge for me.
