REFLECTION FOR TODAY
Time spent dwelling on past situations or worrying about tomorrow's problems robs me of energy and lightheartedness and casts a shadow over all that today has to offer me. What I miss today can never be recaptured. Each circumstance and each experience of every day is meant to be a valuable aid in the fulfillment of my life. Living just for today, and in today, relieves me of stress and worry over situations which have not yet come to pass and of past situations which I cannot relive.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
Help me remain within this day only so that I may enjoy to the fullest all that the day has to offer me.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
I only have today.

REFLECTION FOR TODAY
Could I go a whole day, a whole twenty-four hours, without "trying to improve or regulate anybody except myself?" It does not seem like a difficult task. After all, I am the only one I can change. Yet why do I expend so much of my energy on trying to change others? How do I know what is good for another person? Most of the time I don't know what is good for me. Today I will try extremely hard to accept other people, regardless of their behavior. Today I will concentrate on my qualities, bad or good, and let the other person be an individual with human foibles. If this dedication to myself only works five hours today, maybe it will last six hours tomorrow, and I will have taken another giant step on my path toward serenity.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
Help me to let You make all the improvements on the human race.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
During this day I will accept others as they are- human, just like me, and entitled to their humanity.

REFLECTION FOR TODAY
How many times have we all made statements like the following? "I'll save the good crystal and china for when special company comes." "When I get a bigger house, my life will be better." "When I get enough money and can retire, I will be happy." We are projecting happiness into the future and forgetting that today is the day to be happy. Today is our day that God has given us to live and enjoy. The present moment is an opportunity for us to make use of our assets and enter into life with vim, vigor, and vitality.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
May I always remember to live in and enjoy each of life's precious moments.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Live for the now!
