REFLECTION FOR TODAY
As we begin to look more positively at where we are, we will discover that all of our painful moments, if faced, lead us to learn more about ourselves. Everything we experience has it's value. How much do we learn when things are going well? Don't we just coast along? Often pain pushes us to risk or to challenge the things in ourselves which we need and want to change. As we become more in touch with our needs, our values, and our goals, we are pushed to a new adventure.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
Remind me that pain is an opportunity for growth.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Our pain, if faced, helps us to find balance in our lives - the balance of self, others, and purpose.

REFLECTION FOR TODAY
Without the pain which comes to warn us of a physical ailment, we could die very quickly. If we refuse to recognize the warning signs of emotional pain, we may not necessarily die, but we will be less alive to abundant living. Each time I am willing to risk sharing my pain, I gain support and acceptance. This support and acceptance makes it easier to risk again. This risking brings me the gift of healing and wholeness.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
When I am in pain, may I develop the ability to see ahead to a fuller life.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Pain tells me something needs to be changed.
