REFLECTION FOR TODAY
It was a relief to stop blaming myself for failing to do the impossible. It felt good to say, "I can't." Admitting I was powerless, as Step One suggests, released me from the painful chore of being responsible for the world and everyone in it. I do have a power, a Higher Power, who supports me as I make changes to better my life and become a better person, and who gives me directions for the way to remain powerless over things and other people.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
Help me to realize Your will, for me and others, is wiser than mine.

REFLECTION FOR TODAY
It is the first day of a new year. Another beginning of my new life. As I reflect upon last year, I can see many changes in me. It is not the big changes in me that are so interesting; it is the infinitesimal changes in me which count and will build the firm foundation for my future. Just as it takes many little bricks to build a firm foundation for a large building, so it is with my life. I will lay bricks one day at a time and continue to cement them with faith in my Higher Power. I shall enter into this new year in peace knowing I am never alone and am in partnership with the Master Builder.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
I trust You have a wonderful design for my life already drawn up.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
The construction of my life will go as planned, just so long as I am willing to be crew and do not play architect.
