Beginning today, I will open my heart and mind.  I will welcome new experiences, I will meet new people.  I will not expect perfection from myself or 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, pet a kitten or puppy, soak in a bubble bath - pleasures 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.

Beginning today

And every step I take for the rest of my life.
