Just for this moment, I will not have any regrets. I will not dwell on the things that I have said and done in the past.

Just for this moment, I will not put myself nor anyone else down. I will do this just for this moment. Life is too fleeting and fragile. It should not be awash with negative feelings and thoughts.

Just for this moment, I will not wonder why this and that has happened to me. I know that ninety-five percent of what has happened to me I brought upon myself. The enemy within me is in my blood and the ropes that snare me is in my thinking.

So, just for this moment, I will not wallow in self-pity. This feeling is a locked cage that wants to further confine me.

Let the smile start. Let it be a sincere smile. This smile conveys the unmerited blessings that I am receiving. I have stumbled my way into a maze. It is primarily of my own making. So, it is up to me to find my way out of it.

Just for this moment, I will rejoice even as my heart feels the hollowness of my incompleteness.

Just for this moment, I will love and adore her. I know I can’t touch her. This is because of the nature of the beast that flows through me.

My youth was gone when I was still young. My old age is wasting away because my tainted blood will not allow me to live in peace with it.

My best friend is the fantasies in which I live. Yet, even they do not appease the loneliness that I feel.

Those who are better suited to life than I have fallen beside me like straw falling from a hay loft. A few have been taken out by Aids, while drug addiction and tobacco have undone a few. And there are those who have come to an end by murder. And then there are those who have simply faded away into timeless oblivion. And being the least of them all, for reasons unknown, I still stand.

Just for this moment, I will think kind thoughts of everyone. This includes even those who psychologically turn my stomach. I am no prize to be won or lost. I have proven repeatedly that bad choices can turn the cleverest person into a fool.

I am not claiming to be clever. Common sense makes no sense if it is not nurtured and used.

Just for this moment, I will open a door and not stub my toes against it.

Just for this moment, I will take inventory of my life with a clear mind.
