A Clear Morning Scatters Nightmares

January 29 - I used to imagine my life as a grotesque abstract painting:  a montage of crises framed by end upon end catastrophes.  My days all were grey and my thoughts greyer still.  I was haunted by dread and nameless fears.  I was filed with self-loathing.  I had no idea who I was, what I was, or why I was.  I miss none of those feelings.  Today, step by step, I am discovering myself and learning that I can be free to be me.

Am I grateful for my new life?  Have I taken the time to thank God today for the fact that I am clean and alive?

Today I Pray - May calm come to me after the turmoil and nightmares of the past.  As my fears and self-hatred dissipate, may the things of the spirit replace them.  For in the spiritual world, as in the material world, there is no empty space.  May I be filled with the spirit of my Higher Power.

Today I Will Remember - A clear morning scatters nightmares.
