JANUARY 5 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "I will choose for today"

"Today is my lucky day." How often in the past we said that, when it was an empty prophecy. Today, those words are real; I am given a second chance. In my gambling days, I sacrificed every "today" for a dream of some distant tomorrow. Of all that I lost, I grieve most for all those "todays I cannot bring them back. But today-this day-I have. I will not sacrifice it or waste it. Do I truly believe that today is mine, that today I can choose to be happy, to grow, and to learn to live, instead of counting on some pie-in-the-sky day in the far-off future? Today I Pray ... I pray that the colors of this day may not be blurred by muted vagaries of the future or dulled by storm-gray remnants from the past. I pray that my Higher Power will help me choose my actions and concerns out of the wealth of busyness that each day offers. Today I Will Remember ... I will not lose for today, if I choose for today.
