Today's Gift
Never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun. Randy Pausch
Have some fun - with life, with the day.
Life is not drudgery; that is an old belief. Let go of it. We are on an adventure, a journey. Events will come to pass that we cannot now fathom.
Replace heaviness and weariness of spirit with joy. Surround yourself with people and things that bring lightness of spirit.
Become sensitive to lightness of spirit.
The journey can be an exciting adventure. Let yourself enjoy it.
May let go of my need to meet dysfunctional challenges in my relationships.

Twenty-Four Hours a Day
Keep It Simple
The balance of events in our lives is much like the balance of nature. The pendulum swings; every extreme condition is offset by its opposite, and we learn to appreciate the gifts . . . of the bad times as well as the periods of rest.
On occasion we'll discover that our course in life has changed direction. We need not be alarmed. Our every concern, every detail of our lives will be taken care of, in the right way, at the right time.
We can develop gratitude for all conditions, good or bad. Each has its necessary place in our development as healthy, happy women. We need the sorrows along with the joys if we are to gain new insights. Our failures keep us humble; they remind us of our need for the care and guidance of others. And for every hope dashed, we can remember, one will be realized.
Action for the Day: Life is a process. I will accept the variations with gratitude. Each, in its own way, blesses me.

One Day At A Time
After all, our problems were of our own making.
Bottles were only a symbol. Besides, we have stopped
fighting anybody or anything. We have to!
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 103
Thought to Ponder
We need to share our problems to find our solutions.

Excerpt of The Daily Motivator
Be happy just because you can
by Ralph Marston
Do you wish to be happy? Then be happy.
Yes, it truly is as simple as that. Happiness is a state that you can enter whenever and wherever you choose.
You don’t necessarily have to be happy about anything in particular. You don’t necessarily need any person, thing or situation to make you happy.
Be happy just because you can. Be happy just because it feels so good.
Happiness empowers you and improves your outlook. Happiness attracts positive, supportive people into your life, and guides you toward positive situations.
Let go of your resistance, and let happiness flow from your heart. Fill this very moment with the happiness you create.
