Affirming the Good

Fun becomes fun, love becomes love, life becomes worth living. And we become grateful.
--Beyond Codependency

Wait and expect good things - for yourself and your loved ones.

When you wonder what is coming, tell yourself the best is coming, the very best life and love have to offer, the best Higher Power and His universe have to send. Then open your hands to receive it. Claim it and it is yours.

See the best in your mind; envision what it will look like, what it will feel like. Focus until you can see it clearly. Let your whole being, body and soul, enter into and hold onto the image for a moment.

Then let it go. Come back into today, the present moment. Do not obsess. Do not become fearful. Become excited. Live today fully, expressing gratitude for all you have been, all you are, and all you will become.

Wait and expect good things.

Today, when I think about the year ahead, I will focus on the good that is coming.

Happy New Year to all! This is the last day I will post in this format. Beginning tomorrow, I will post each day's reading in the same thread, making it easier to catch up if you miss a day or to look back for something you wanted to re-read.

Wishing everyone the very best in the coming year--may it be filled with opportunities for learning, growth, joy and love!
