hark... i hear change

it’s time to make a change, a change for the better

“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 all that is forthcoming.
