May 6, 2023 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

 

Saturday, May 6, 2023

Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

Reflection for the Day

As I grow in recovery — sharing, caring, and becoming more and more active — I find that it’s becoming easier to live in the Now. Even my vocabulary is changing. No longer is every other sentence salted with such well-used words as could’ve, should’ve, would’ve, might’ve. What’s done is done, and what will be will be. The only time that really matters is Now

 Am I gaining real pleasure and serenity and peace?

Today I Pray

I pray that I may collect all my scattered memories from the past and high-flown schemes and overblown fears for the future and compact them into the neater confines of Today. Only by living in the Now may I keep my balance, without bending backward to the past or tipping forward into the future. May I stop trying to get my arms around my whole unwieldy lifetime and carry it around with me wherever I go.

Today I Will Remember

Make room for today.
