So I arrived to work this morning and noticed on my desk calender that today is March 1st. For whatever reason this just struck me as a new beginning. I realized to myself that even though it is only the first day of the month it is a fresh start and a chance to face forward. Looking back on the past month is very difficult to do and I am grateful to have February in my rear view mirror. I truly hope that in time I will be able to look back at February 2013 as a time of growth, change and turning my life around, but right now it still feels like an open wound.
I now have a new month!
- A month in which I am currently sober.
- A month in which I have not betrayed my family.
- A month in which I have not lied to those I love or broken covenants.
- A month in which I am embracing the concept of reaching out and letting people love and support me.
- A month in which I am looking for chances to serve others and be guided by the Spirit.
- A month in which I am facing forward and trying to control what I can and trust the rest to The Lord.
- A month in which I have a good system in place to do my dailies and come closer to my Savior.
- A month in which I have set goals and I am working hard to achieve them.
Here's to March!
My new beginning.

I like this and as I read it, I was reminded that we have a new beginning each day. Each day can be a fresh start. This is why I try to take it all day by day. Live today well. And then when tomorrow comes, live today well. Until I can one day look back at the stretch of months and years that I have lived well.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your new beginning! :)
