Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Get a small notebook
write in it what you want.
-- James Schuyler
We sometimes postpone things we want to do, waiting for ideal circumstances or more comfortable means. Often, all we need to make a start is the willingness to begin. Writing is an example; many of us say, "I'd like to write, but I don't have the time." We can take a few moments to write today -- right now -- without committing ourselves to keeping a journal for the rest of our lives. We don't need a computer, a writer's studio or a grant; any pad or notebook will do.
Instead of living with the frustration of grandiose schemes, we can cultivate small habits that move us gradually in the direction of fulfilling our desires.
Today, I take one small action that furthers the fulfillment of a desire.
