Reflection for
the Day
In the old days, I saw
everything in terms of forever. Endless hours were spent rehashing old mistakes.
I tried to take comfort in the forlorn hope that tomorrow would be "different."
As a result, I lived a fantasy life in which happiness was all but nonexistent.
No wonder I rarely smiled and hardly ever laughed aloud. Do I still think in
terms of "forever"?
Today I
Pray
May I set my goals for
the New Year not at the year-long mark, but one day at a time. My traditional
New Year's resolutions have been so grandly stated and so soon broken. Let me
not weaken my resolve by stretching it to cover "forever" - or even one long
year. May I reapply it firmly each new day. May I learn not to stamp my past
mistakes with that indelible word, "forever." Instead, may each single day in
each New Year be freshened by my new-found hope.
Today I Will
Remember
Happy New
Day!
