Poem for the day
I love this. I'm not sure of the author but thought I'd share it as I think it's really fitting for us alcoholics and addicts.
Two Days
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry
Two Days that should be kept free from fear and apprehension
One is yesterday with all its mistakes and cares, it's faults and blunders, it's aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. We cannot undo a single act we performed or erase a single word we said.
Yesterday is gone forever.
Then there is tomorrow. With all its possibilities, it's adversities, it's burdens, it's rewards.
Tomorrows sun will rise. Either in splendour or behind a mask of clouds but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow for it has yet to be born.
That leaves today. Anyone can fight the battle of just one day. It's when you add the burdens of yesterday and tomorrow that you break down.
It's not the experience of today that drives a person mad. It's the remorse or bitterness of something that happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow might bring.
Therefore it only makes sense for peace of mind and hope.....
