Beginning Today
~ unknown
Beginning today I will open my mind and my heart
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.

Holiday Giving
by Bill MansellThe holidays are a time of giving. People scramble around rushing from store to store, spending hours online scouring newspaper ads—just to find the perfect gift for a loved one. It’s a wonderful time of year when we tend to appreciate our relationships and thank those who mean so much to us.
Ironically, because it is so busy, it’s also a time of year when people get a little grouchy and surly with each other. We tend to snap at people, even our loved ones. We often fill every free moment with preparations or celebrations, and leave little time to relax with family and friends to feel the joy of the season.
The best gifts you can give to your loved ones don’t cost money. They do take effort, but they will make a huge impact. What more could you want: free gifts with a huge, lasting impact!
Here are my top 5 free gifts for the holidays:
- Smile and be pleasant. This can take work, especially during the holidays, but it will make someone’s day and improve yours at the same time.
- Spread only good news (not just about other people, but about everything!) There’s always plenty of bad news to talk about, just give it a rest until January.
- Spread holiday cheer (wish people well, go caroling, decorate, visit neighbors, participate in community holiday events)
- Set aside time for family and loved ones. Why not set aside at least one “family night” where you don’t have anything planned. Turn off the TV and just enjoy talking. Relive happy memories of holidays past, share stories, play games, laugh and love.
- Do a random act of anonymous service. Whether you do it alone or as a family, nothing brings the holiday spirit better than serving someone else quietly, without credit or fanfare.

"Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires
less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels
are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your
thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance."
