God, I thank you for this day. I know I have not accomplished all you expect of me, and that is the reason for bathing me in the fresh dew of another dawn, i am most grateful. I am prepared at last to make you proud of me.
My success does not depend on straining to see what looks dimly on the horizon, but to do today what clearly lies at hand.I will treasure this for it is all I have.I know that it's rushing hours cannot be accumulated or stored like precious grain for future use.
I will live this day as if it were Christmas.I will be the giver of gifts and I will deliver to enemies, the gift of forgiveness, to all my opponents, tolerance, my friends, a smile, my children, a good example...and every gift will be wrapped with unconditional love.I will not even waste a precious second today, in anger or hate or jealousy or selfishness.
I will work this day with all my strength, content in the knowledge that life does not consist of wallowing in the past or peering anxiously into the future.
Whatever it offers, a little or much, my life is now. I will pause whenever I am feeling sorry for myself today, and remember that this is the only day I have and must play it to it's fullest.I will count this day a separate life and remember that those who have the fewest regrets are those who take each moment as it comes for all that it is worth.
This is my day, these are my seeds.
Thank you God, for this precious Garden of Time.
