to bring me to this moment.

is my own emotional response to the events of my life,

between my feelings about events
and the physical occurrences of those events.

any role in any of the events of my life
is entirely without fault.

your reason for living.
Take action on those beliefs.

(it really is something separate from yourself).
Lay down the law.

I have what I have today;
I have my fingers, my toes,
some people in my life,
some material and financial state.
Yesterday is only a dream -
perhaps a nightmare,
perhaps a cherished memory,
but only a dream - nothing more.
I will make all decisions and actions based solely
on what I have today as a starting point."
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

the health, that I am blessed with today,
regardless of what I had yesterday.
With zero-based gratitude,
I can be grateful each day for the gift of life itself.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
