Today I will be grateful for where I am now.

My life might not be perfect, and I might not have achieved the goals I thought I would have by now; I might not be living the kind of life I thought I would be or want to be, but I'm grateful for this day, right now, and the fact that I've made a commitment to myself to live a life in which I'm treated with respect and dignity.

I will use this day as a gift, one that I've given myself because I deserve it. I will use this day to be glad for all I've accomplished.

I'm deserving, worthy, and valuable.

I'm a lovable person, and today I thank the person who helped me understand this: me.   :->

Well done Rick

You've said it perfectly for me again, Rick - yes, well done. And thanks for reminding me of that most important word "gratitude". Because of illness & a few "life changing events", where I'm at now was not where I expected to be by now. But for the grace of God & the fellowship, what I've lost has been replaced by God with a host of friends & family who unconditionally love me anyway. I should be so blessed. Thx for sharing. - Pat B.
