I make this day a beginning.

This is a time of beginning again.  I will not waste my energy by looking back and longing for other days and other times.  Today I have the courage to go forward in life, expecting good to unfold.

There are times when circumstances change, when relationships change, when things I have taken for granted are no longer the same.  These times are times that can be extremely difficult unless I have trust in the unchanging care and guidance of my Higher Power.

Today I am ready to release every thought that binds me to the limited beliefs of yesterday.  I am no longer held in bondage to the past.  Today I see myself in the world, free from limitations.
