Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Ford Foundation
The bluebird carries the day on his back.
-- Henry David Thoreau
What a happy thought. Imagine a bluebird building its home in a nest box, chattering away to tell the world, "I'm here, and I'm busy!"
The bluebird does not think about yesterday or tomorrow but only about doing the next right thing to make the present day a good one. The bluebird listens for an inner voice -- the voice that tells it when to start building a nest or when to begin its flight south for the coming winter.
We can learn from the bluebird. When we do our activities of the day, one at a time, we put together a good day -- a day that is just what it is supposed to be.
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, help me be true to myself today and to live my life just the way it is supposed to be. Help me feel the joy of it!
Today's Action
Today, I will talk with my sponsor or a friend in recovery about how my days need to be at this time in my life. I will be happy that I know how to live well today.
