June 18 - I believe today that I have a right to make spiritual
progress. I have a right to be emotionally mature. I have a right to
take pleasure in my own company, and that makes me more pleasant to be
with. I also have a right to become willing - deeply willing, entirely
willing - to make amends to all those I've harmed. Because I can now
accept myself the way I am, I can accept other people the way they are -
not entirely, but to a much greater degree than in the past.
Have I begun to make friends with God, and thus with myself?
Today I Pray - May God show me that it's okay to like myself, even while
trying to repair old wrongs and rebuild from splinters. May I keep
telling myself that I am different now, I have changed. I am a better
and wiser and healthier person. I have made some good choices. As this
"new Person," may I find it easier to make atonement for what happened
long ago and in another spiritual place. May those I have wronged also
find it easier to accept my amends.
Today I Will Remember - It's okay to like myself.
