January 5 - "Today is my lucky day." How often in the past we said that, when it was an empty prophesy. Today, those words are real; I am being given a second change. In my gambling days, I sacrificed every "today" for a dream of some distant tomorrow. Of all that I lost, I grieve most for all those "todays" - I cannot bring them back. But today - this day - I have. I will not sacrifice or waste it.
Do I truly believe that today is mine, that today I can choose to be happy, to grow, and to learn to live, instead of counting on some pie in the sky day in the far-off future?
Today I Pray - I pray that the colors of this day may not be blurred by muted vagaries of the future or dulled by storm gray remnants form the past. I pray that my Higher Power will help me choose my actions and concerns out of the wealth of my busyness that each day offers.
Today I Will Remember - I will not lose for today, if I choose for today.
