Today's challenges

- To face today with gratitude for the opportunity it represents

- To be open to possibilities

- To face today with optimism, knowing that good things can and will happen

- To be grateful that I filed my tax returns last night ;-)

- To be ecstatic that I'm getting a sizable refund again this year

- To understand that when one door closes, another often opens

- To recognize that great love involves great risk

- To recognize that great risk sometimes means getting your ass handed to you

- To understand that great risk can sometimes lead to a great victory

- To accept that sometimes things just are and life just IS

- To believe that things happen for a reason...even though I don't begin to know what that reason might be

- To honestly believe that better things lie ahead...because they do

- To understand that, for some people, self-centeredness and projection are an art form

- To keep pushing forward in the belief that I deserve better

- To be able to look at myself in the mirror and believe that I gave it my best shot...and then some

- To understand that in life, trying hard guarantees you nothing except the satisfaction of trying hard

- To be able to manage my anger and keep bitterness from taking root

- To enjoy life for what it is and what it has to offer

- To forgive others for their poor behavior towards me

- To recognize that I'm only a victim if I allow myself to be

- To understand that sometimes love is synonymous with self-interest

- To be thankful that I'm resilient

- To accept that people use other people and that hypocrisy is often part of the deal

- To maintain my belief that people are basically and generally good and kind

- To remember that "being real" isn't a euphemism for being just plain rude and disrespectful

- To be thankful that I no longer live in Houston

- To understand that getting knocked down is an opportunity to pick myself up

- To accept that this too shall pass

- To be grateful that I'm not in Haiti
