Today's thought from the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:You had better live your best and act your best and think your best today, for today is the sure preparation for tomorrow and all the other tomorrows that follow.--Harriet MartineauThe word "sanity" is derived from the Latin word sanitas, which means "health." In our group, we think of health as wholeness of mind, body, and spirit.One way to achieve health and wholeness is by living one day at a time. To do this successfully, we need to realize we cannot undo a single act we performed or unsay any harsh words spoken in the past. No matter how much we may regret or re-feel yesterday's painful experiences, there is nothing we can do to change what happened. The past is forever beyond our control.The same thing is true of the future. No matter how much we may worry and fret over it, very few of us can predict what tomorrow will bring. We can only prepare for a hope-filled future by living fully and confidently today.TODAY is all I have. Let me make the most of it.
