It’s Time to Make A Change, A Change For The Better

a little something that i read when i feel down...
a little something that turns a smile from a frown ...
a little something ... that needs to be repeated for me to understand.
a little something, through it all, that comes true when you hold my hand.


“just for today, I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday, or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set far-reaching goals or try to overcome all my problems at once. I know that I can do something for 24 hours that would overwhelm me if I kept it up for a lifetime. Just for today, I will be happy. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me. If my mind fills with clouds, I will chase them away and fill it with sunshine. Just for today, I will accept what is. I will face reality. I will correct those things I can correct and accept those I cannot. Just for today, I will improve my mind. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration. Just for today, I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I will be kind and courteous to those who cross my path, and I will not speak ill of others. Just for today, I will refrain from improving anyone but myself. Just for today, I will do something positive to improve my health. Just for today, I will gather the courage to do what is right and take responsibility for my own actions.”

and through this all, I will become a better and stronger person. Today is my chance for a new beginning, the day I discard my current habits for healthy, new ones.

thank you for a great year, everyone. And thank you, for better or worse, for having such an impact upon my life that I will keep with me.

here's to an amazing winter break, and all that is forthcoming.
