I used to lament over and over
the things that didn't go right for me yesterday,
last week, last year, or when I was a child.
Meanwhile, I carefully mapped out my plans for things
that would have to be done tomorrow, next week,
or the rest of my life.
I was so busy juggling the regrets of the past
with the expectations of tomorrow
I had no time for living in the present.
I missed those precious moments of today.
No more. I am living in the moment.
I am participating in my life as it happens today.
Box 1980: The AA Grapevine, August 2001, p. 15

Thought to Ponder....

An expectation is a premeditated resentment.
