August 7 in The Little Blue Book ONE DAY at a TIME in AL-ANON
August 7 in The Little Blue Book ONE DAY at a TIME in AL-ANON:
This is a day which God has given into my hands. If I could only realize what a tremendous gift this is, I would use every moment of it to make my life more serene, more rewarding. I would not look back over my shoulder at the disappointments of the past – I would not anxiously contemplate the future. I would live – JUST FOR TODAY – as well as I can. I would put aside critical thoughts of others. I would notice interesting things – the expressions on people’s faces, a plant growing on my windowsill, the grace and charm of a child, an arrangement of clouds. Today there are wonders all around me, if I will open my eyes and enjoy them.
TODAY’S REMINDER
Let me not be so preoccupied with thoughts of my grievances and troubles that today’s good can escape me. Today I can begin a new way of using my minutes and hours, a new way of looking at my surroundings and the circumstances of my life. I will make this day one I can look back upon with pleasure and satisfaction and a preparation for the days to come.
“Today is all the time I have. Nobody can keep me from using it well. If I make this a good day, then tomorrow can be even better.”
(INTERESTINGLY I got the days mixed up - this one is actually yesterday's!! LOL!!)
