April 20 -- Reflection of the Day: "If a person continues to see only giants," wrote Anais Nin, "it means he is still looking at the world through the eyes of a child." During this twenty-four-hour period, I won't allow myself to be burdened by thoughts of giants and monsters--of things that are past. I won't concern myself about tomorrow until it becomes my today. The better I use today, the more likely it is that tomorrow will be bright.
Have I extended the hand of caring to another person today?
Today I Pray: God, may I please grow up. May I no longer see monsters and giants on my walls, those projections of a child's imagination. May I bury my hobgoblins and realize that those epic dream-monsters are distortions of my present fears. May they vanish with my fearfulness, in the daylight of my new serenity.
Today I Will Remember: I will put away childish fears.
