A day of peace

Today is a day of peace.

A day where I've given myself permission to be content.

Today

I won't worry about the things I can't control.

I won't be bothered by people who would place the blame for their own discontent on me.

I won't allow petty or major issues to mar my appreciation of the world's beauty.

I won't worry about tomorrow or yesterday, those two areas of time I can do nothing about.

I won't seek beyond what is right this moment, within each moment.

I won't wish for more than I have; desire more than that which comes my way because it is destined for only me.

I won't waste time on thoughts of regret, allow fear to be my companion, or even ponder the universe.

I won't bemoan the fact that the day is never long enough to get everything done, but will instead be inordinately pleased with each accomplishment regardless of how small.

I accept within this day exactly what there is and who I am. It is enough. I feel balanced, at peace, and the world is indeed a wonderful place. Where I am at this moment is a nice place to be. I should practice it more often.
