A very important person is watching your every action, listening to your every word, and knows your every thought. That person is you.
Imagine yourself a year from now, looking back on today. Imagine your future self being exceedingly thankful for the way you lived this day.
Then step forward and live today with that in mind. Think, speak and act in such a way that the person you will become inherits many positive benefits from the person you are right now.
Confidence, integrity, strength and effectiveness do not simply appear out of nowhere. They are built by the way you live your life.
And now is your opportunity to live in a powerful, positive way that will benefit your life for a long time to come. Now is your chance to make your future self thankful for the empowering paths you choose to take. -- Ralph Marston, from today's Daily Motivator

Today I am grateful...

• to have slept until 4:30 am before 'we' had to go out to pee
• that I am getting used to starting my day early
• for the visit from Sergio and Norris yesterday. Sergie had just returned from a 'procreating vacation' in Humble, TX (pronounced UMble) and must have been still emitting phermones as he became the first to be humped by Bunny.
• for all the smiles I give and receive
• for the quiet moment during the closings where we remember those suffering both inside and outside the rooms of AA
• that today I have enough

Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it's holy ground. There's no greater investment.--Stephen Covey
