Hello and thank you for visiting our website!
The idea and name of A New Day 4 You is one that has a great deal of meaning in my life, and I believe is important for anyone impacted by mental health challenges and/or addiction. I share this because many years ago, my life lacked hope. I often hear similar responses from each of the individuals I work with. However, when we begin to discover that some days are more difficult than others, and if we can just get through today, tomorrow (A New Day) might be a little better. For many this isn’t the case if they continue to do life like they always have, which often results in frustration, dysfunction, chaos and in some cases addiction. Conversely, when we seek help and are willing and able to take what we learn and apply it to our life, in time things will get better. I call that having hope, and that is an amazing and powerful thing to have in life.
Recently, one of my wife’s favorite singers, Danny Gokey, released a song called “New Day.” The opening lyrics share:
Wake up and breathe in deeper than yesterday
Take on the morning life your soul’s been remade
Roll down the windows, let your cares fly away
Good things are yours to claim, you don’t have to wait
All across the sky
New mercies rise
And the future’s bright
This is a New Day
What a wonderful description of the opportunities that a New Day can give us. I know that in the last several years, I’ve experienced several new days in my life. While not all started out how I would have liked, I’ve often found that if I roll with what the day has to show me and embrace new experiences, that these new days can be profound due to the ongoing transformation happening in me. While true for me, this can also be true for anyone willing to get help, change and grow in their life. Say hello to a New Day 4 You!
