The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal

I got this in an email and it really hit home on how I need to feel about myself. I wanted to share it with ya'll and hope the words help lift you up like they did me.

BEGINNING TODAY
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.
Beginning today
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.
Beginning 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.
Beginning today
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.
Beginning today
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.
Beginning today
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.
Beginning today
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.
Beginning today
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.
Beginning today
I am responsible for my own happiness and I will
do things that make me happy admire the beautiful wonders of nature, listen
to my favorite music, pet a kitten or a
puppy, soak in a bubble bath pleasure
can be found in the most simple of gestures.
Beginning today
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.
Beginning today.
And every day.
