One Day At A Time
It's a funny saying...
'Take it one day at a time'
But...what does that really mean?
When you stop to think about it
.
Does it mean that you can really grasp days by the handful?
No
Of course not
Because that would just be silly
.
So then
What does it really mean?
This funny little phrase
'Take it one day at a time'
.
Though I am only one person
And I only have myself to speak for
To me
This saying means something more
.
Like
Today, it means that I decided to elevate my thoughts
That I said my rosary
And this morning, I talked to God
.
Maybe
Today, it means that I made a choice
To hate myself just a little less
And love myself just a little bit more
.
Maybe
Today, it means that glass of alcohol wasn't the first thing on my mind
Or the last thing
Or even the only thing
.
Maybe
Today, it means that I decided to call my baby sister on the phone
To tell her how much I love her
That I think about her all the time, even if I don't say it
.
Maybe
Today, it means that I made an effort
To be a better wife
And a better daughter
.
And maybe
Just maybe
It means something
Just a little bit more
.
That
Despite not being able to make promises for all of my tomorrows
That
For today
Just today
.
I chose to be a better person
.
So, my dearest friend
If you are reading this
My advice to you
Is simply this
.
Take it one day at a time
