Meditation for the Day
In the new year, I will live one day at a time. I will make each day one of preparation for better things ahead. I will not dwell on the past or the future, only on the present. I will bury every fear of the future, all thoughts of unkindness and bitterness, all my dislikes, my resentments, my sense of failure, my disappointments in others and in myself, my gloom and my despondency. I will leave all these things buried and go forward, in this new year, into a new life.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that God will guide me one day at a time in the new year. I pray that for each day, God will sup ply the wisdom and the strength that I need.
well a new year to be (hopefully) happy joyous and free.
24 more please.

"I AM A MIRACLE"
The central fact of our lives today is the absolute certainty that our Creator has entered into our hearts and lives in a way which is indeed miraculous. He has commenced to accomplish those things for us which we could never do by ourselves.
— ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 25
This truly is a fact in my life today, and a real miracle. I always believed in God, but could never put that belief meaningfully into my life. Today, because of Alcoholics Anonymous, I now trust and rely on God, as I understand Him; I am sober today because of that! Learning to trust and rely on God was something I could never have done alone. I now believe in miracles because I am one!

I was thinking yesterday of what and who I really want to be like sober. You read so many things on the net about recreating yourself. I don't like who I have been drinking, but I can remember being a halfway decent little kid. I can even remember the moment I started changing in junior high to try and fit in. A couple of years later, I started drinking. My thoughts now are centered not on recreating, but on rebuilding. I don't want to make myself into another person. I want to take the base I was given (my real personality and gifts from God) and start adding - like I should/could have been all those years I was drinking. So it's really me that I will be living with in my sober days.
One of the things I always did and loved back then was reading. So that's my step one of getting back my mojo!
Step number two is to consistently journal. I have been working on a getting a bullet journal ready for 2017 the past few weeks. Today will be the first daily entry!
Does anyone else have new rituals/routines for 2017? Or any deep thinking they have done about how they are going to approach the new year?
Best wishes and
to you all! ♥§§
