Today

Good day, God, and thanks for this new day in my life.  I have a lot of hours ahead of me on this day, during which I can write, work on the website, write letters, read--do any of a number of things that I've been having to put off because of school.  I really do appreciate the opportunities I have, and I ask you to be with me to help to guide me to make full use of those chances that I have.

Today will be a good day, if I stay focused and make sure that I devote my time and energy to those things that I really want to do.  I'd love to get 2,000 more words on the novel, and I'd love to finish with the first book that I'm doing for the project.  I'd also love to get two cards written to friends, as I have about 16 to send out that haven't been written yet.  I also want to relax, and try to find a place of peace inside myself, a place that will allow me to tackle the things I want to do today.  I truly can do such things only if I'm feeling good about myself and about my world.

I want to keep my mind free, and not bogged down in problems or difficulties.  I hope to focus on being creative, and on giving love wherever I can these days.  Terry and I have a new goal now, and it would be great if I were to get an early start on making sure that we're able to accomplish that goal.   Of course, whether we do or not is ultimately up to you, because I'm willing to acknowledge the possibility that the goal we have in mind may not be the best thing for us--we'll trust you to redirect us if that's the case.

I want to wish you a good day--I hope that all of us humans down here don't make you too miserable with our greed and our selfishness and our conflicts and all the other things that we do that seem like they'd make you rather sad.  We're trying, I think, and one day we may just get it right.
