I will no longer worry about yesterday. It is in the past and the past will never change. Only I can change by choosing to do so. I will no longer worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will always be there, waiting for me to make the most of it. But I cannot make the most of tomorrow without first making the most of today. I will look in the mirror and I will see a person worthy of my respect and admiration. This capable person looking back at me is someone I enjoy spending time with and someone I would like to get to know better. I will cherish each moment of my life. I value this gift bestowed upon me in this world and I will unselfishly share this gift with others. I will use this gift to enhance the lives of others. I will take a moment to step off the beaten path and to revel in the mysteries I encounter. I will face challenges with courage and determination. I will overcome what barriers there may be which hinder my quest for growth and self-improvement. I will take life one day at a time, one step at a time. Discouragement will not be allowed to taint my positive self-image, my desire to succeed or my capacity to love. I walk with renewed faith in human kindness. Regardless of what has gone before, I believe there is hope for a brighter and better future. I will open my mind and my heart. I will welcome new experiences. I will meet new people. I will not expect perfection from myself nor anyone else ... perfection does not exist in an imperfect world. But I will applaud the attempt to overcome human foibles. I am responsible for my own happiness and I will do things that make me happy. I will admire the beautiful wonders of nature, listen to my favorite music, pet a kitten or puppy, and soak in a bubble bath. Pleasure can be found in the most simple of gestures. I will learn something new; I will try something different; I will savor all the various flavors life has to offer. I will change what I can and the rest I will let go. I will strive to become the best me I can possibly be. I will live life this year in a way that I can look back on it fondly and without regrets and I WILL MAKE THIS THE BEST YEAR EVER! ~Author Unknown Marilyn L. Ali

Hi Marilyn, I don't know about anybody else, but your inspirations make my day. Thank you Your Friend Deborah

Hi Marilyn, Thank you for your well wishes for 2006 ... and may all of yours be fulfilled. What a noteworthy writing by this unknown author; it really gives one a reminder and an opportunity to reflect on this new year to come. God first, and you second - that is where a lot of people have problems with - you have to love yourself, be kind to yourself and realize that there is only one of you. God wants for us to learn and respect that and after we can be good to and for others. We have to be the best that we can be. I still have some ways to go but I am working on it. Thank you for sharing, God bless, Your friend, Louis http://www.yorgoo.com/?1850
