January 1 - In the old days, I saw everything in terms of forever. Endless hours were spent rehashing old mistakes. I tried to take comfort in the forlorn hope that tomorrow "would be different." As a result, I lived a fantasy life in which happiness was all about nonexistent. No wonder I rarely smiled and hardly ever laughed aloud.
Do I still think in terms of forever?
Today I Pray - May I set my goals for the New Year not at the year long mark, but one day at a time. My traditional New Year's resolutions have been so grandly stated and so soon broken. Let me not weaken my resolve by stretching it to cover "forever" - or even one long year. May I reapply it firmly each new day. May I learn not to stamp my past mistakes with the indelible word, "forever." Instead, may each single day in each New Year be freshened by my new found hope.
Today I Will Remember - Happy New Day.
