April 29 - As I grow in the Gamblers Anonymous Program - sharing, caring, and becoming more and more involved - I find that it's becoming easier to live in the NOW. Even my vocabulary is changing. No longer is every other sentence salted with such well-used phrases as "could've," "should've," "would've," or "might've".
What's done is done and what will be will be. The only time that really matters is now. Am I gaining real pleasure and serenity and peace in the Program?
Today I Pray: That I may collect all my scattered memories from the past and high-flown schemes and overblown fears for the future and compact them into the neater confines of today. Only by living in the NOW may I keep my balance, without bending backwards to the past or tipping forward into the future. May I stop trying to get my arms around my whole unwieldy lifetime and carry it around in a gunny sack with me wherever I go.
Today I Will Remember: Make room for today.
