REFLECTION FOR TODAY
My happiness does not depend on anyone but me. It is not given to me by others, nor can I earn it from others. Whether I am happy or not is the result of my own attitude toward myself and toward shared experiences. I place a terrific burden upon others if I make them responsible for my happiness. In expecting too much from others, I alienate them and become frustrated and angry with myself and them. This can give me the feeling of loneliness while in the midst of a crowd.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
Help me to search inward sufficiently so I can be my own best friend.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
My happiness comes from a positive appreciation of myself.

REFLECTION FOR TODAY
Today I am happy. I am happy because I am me. I am happy because my life is filled with wonders: people, places, and things. I am happy because I know I have much to give and much to receive. Today is an extraordinary day. I am happy because wonderful things are going to happen to me today. I will have new, satisfying, productive ideas and I will have new, satisfying, productive ideas and experiences. I will meet loving people who will share themselves with me. Someone will give me a hug or a warm touch and a smile. There will be laughter, sunshine, and serenity - even if it rains.

I give thanks for this day and bless every moment of it.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
I am happy!
