Today's Gift
Fun becomes fun, love becomes love, life becomes worth living. And we become grateful. ~Beyond Codependency
Affirming the Good
Wait, and expect good things—for yourself and your loved ones.
When you wonder what is coming, tell yourself the best is coming, the very best life and love have to offer, the best the Universe have to send. Then open your hands to receive it. Claim it, and it is yours.
See the best in your mind; envision what it will look like, what it will feel like. Focus, until you can see it clearly. Let your whole being, body and soul, enter into and hold onto the image for a moment.
Then, let it go. Come back into today, the present moment. Do not obsess. Do not become fearful. Become excited. Live today fully, expressing gratitude for all you have been, all you are, and all you will become.
Wait, and expect good things.
Today, as I think ahead, I will focus on the good that is coming.

Twenty-Four Hours a Day
Keep It Simple
In our daily lives we often take a very short perspective. We see what is worrisome today, what is pressing hardest, or what is most frightening or confusing. Eventually, we may look back and have a totally different idea about what was truly important on this day.
Let us take a moment now to remember what does endure, what we value most, what counts in the long run. For a brief quiet time we can let go of all the anxieties of this moment. During these few quiet moments, we will identify our tensions and then place them totally into the hands of our Higher Power. This is our time to let go of our worries and be refreshed. It will provide a background of serenity for our day.
Action for the Day: Today, help me remember this corner of serenity as I meet the tasks and activities on my path.

One Day At A Time
A Sufficient Substitute
We have shown how we got out from under. You say,
"Yes, I’m willing. But am I to be consigned to a life
where I shall be stupid, boring and glum, like some
righteous people I see? I know I must get along without
liquor, but how can I? Have you a sufficient substitute?"
Yes, there is a substitute and it is vastly more than that.
It is a fellowship in Alcoholics Anonymous.
- Alcoholics Anonymous (A Vision For You) p. 152
Thought to Ponder
Sobriety is the adventure of a lifetime.
And it begins the moment we ask AA for help.
AA-related 'Alconym'

Daily Motivation
by Ralph Marston
The world is full of wonder today. Open yourself to it, experience it, share it and expand upon it.
Life is filled with opportunity right now. See it, be inspired by it, and make something of it.
You are surrounded by possibilities, right where you are. Notice those possibilities and bring them to fruition.
In what’s obvious, in what’s subtle, in the smallest details, in the widest panorama, live the bounty of life. Before you strive and struggle to get more, realize the great extent of what’s right in front of you.
Let life amaze you. Let that amazement deepen your commitment to live with goodness, generosity, and excellence.
See the beauty, feel the wonder. And live the amazing experience that is your life in this moment.
