Being alive to truth involves living each present moment. If we are obsessed with the past or preoccupied with the future, we will miss the truth of now. Today we can be who we are and give of our best in whatever situation we find ourselves. ~ L., Elisabeth. Food for Thought: Daily Meditations for Overeaters (Hazelden Meditations Book 1) . Hazelden Publishing. Kindle Edition.

We have limited control over our lives.
The past had already happened,
and regrets can change nothing.
The future is unknown and plans for it
may have little effect, while worrying
or obsessing over what may happen
can have a devastating effect on the time
we actually can change, the present,
which is our gift for this day,
our “present” if we welcome it,
embrace it recognizing for THIS day
our choices mean something.
Let us be who we are and give of our best
in whatever situation we find ourselves.
Let us choose to live One Day at a Time!
