    APRIL 29 Reflection for the Day
    As I grow in the Gamblers Anonymous Program—sharing, caring, and becoming more and more involved—I find that it’s becoming easier to live in the NOW. Even my vocabulary is changing. No longer is every other sentence salted with such well-used phrases as “could’ve,” “should’ve,” “would’ve,” or “might’ve.”

    What’s done is done and what will be will be. The only time that really matters is now. Am I gaining real pleasure and serenity and peace in the Program?

    Today I Pray
    That I may collect all my scattered memories from the past and high-flown schemes and overblown fears for the future and compact them into the neater confines of today. Only by living in the NOW may I keep my balance, without bending backwards to the past or tipping forward into the future. May I stop trying to get my arms around my whole unwieldy lifetime and carry it around in a gunny sack with me wherever I go.

    Today I Will Remember
    Make room for today.
