Day 284

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful recovering alcoholic/addict.  I know we all make mistakes, we are human.  We need to learn from them, live for today, because that is all we have, and tomorrow is not promised.  Complaining about yesterday doesn't make today any better. We need to make the best of today.  Enjoy the life we have, the little things of today will be the big things of yesterday.  Life is short, so live it.  We need to enjoy the people we love, let them enjoy us.  We may not know what me mean to others.  I need to be the reason someone smiles.  So if you are reading this, smile!  :) That is at least one happy memory for today.  I hope you enjoy reading these.  I enjoy writing them.  And if I can help one person make it through today, it is a good day.  To let someone know they are not alone, they are not crazy.  I think it's interesting when people say they are "different," it is used as a bad connotation. Different than what.  What is "normal?"  Normal is boring.  So then I want to be different. Anyways, that is a topic for another day.  :)  Here is a short tlittle poem I wrote. 

Tomorrow
I live for what is now.
The next day is not here,
nor promised.
And you?

Have a great day!
