Sometimes, we don't get what we want. . . But this is a benevolent universe. And once in a while, we do.

This moment, we are right where we need to be, right where we are meant to be.

Arranging for and allowing ourselves to have fun is an important part of taking care of ourselves. It helps us stay healthy. It helps us work better. It balances life. We deserve to have fun. Fun is a normal part of being alive. Fun is taking time to celebrate being alive.

It's hard to give up the self-esteem connected to being codependent and appearing 'right,' which is probably a survival behavior learned from growing up in a crazy family. It feels like you will actually disappear.

God, help me let go of my need to be afraid. I welcome peace, trust, acceptance, and safety into my life. I will make a point of listening to my healthy, rational fears, and will relinquish all the others.

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

Gratitude turns what we have into enough.
