I am not the one I was before yesterday.

I cannot go back.

I am not the one I will be \rtomorrow.

I can not see that far ahead.

I am who I am now, \rtoday.

The person I see in the mirror\rchanging so subtly, \rbut changing,\rbecoming a new person\rminute by minute\rday by day.

The possibilities are endless, \rbut I must choose which way I will change,\reach decision I make changes me in some way,\rpositively or negatively.

Let me open myself to good changes,\rto positive steps, happy feelings.

Let me open my heart to others\rthat their joy and experiences \rmay change me in a positive manner\rinto the person I will become
