Reflection for the Day
For
a good part of my life, I saw things mostly in negative terms.
Everything was serious, heavy, or just plain awful. Perhaps now I can
truly change my attitude, searching out people in recovery who have
learned how to live comfortably in the real world—without numbing their
brains with mood-altering substances.
If things get rough today, can I take a quiet moment and say to myself, as the philosopher Homer once said, “Bear patiently, my heart—for you have suffered heavier things”?

Today I Pray
May
peace fill the place within me that once harbored my despair. May an
appreciation for living—even for life’s trials—cancel out my former
negative attitudes. During heart-heavy moments, help me remember that my
heart was once much heavier still.
Today I Will Remember
I, too, am healing and living comfortably.
