Just for Today......

As most of you know, today is a difficult day for me

as we have to end our fur baby's suffering

it's time...she has suffered long enough

Many years ago when I went thru another challenge in my life

 I was given this bookmark from Al-anon

I would like to share it with everyone

Hopefully you will never need it

but if you find yourself in that place

please do

Just for today:

I will try to live through this day only,

and not tackle all my problems at once.

I can do something for twelve hours that

would appall me if I felt that I had to

keep it up for a lifetime.

 

Just for today:

 I will be happy.

This assume to be true what Abraham Lincoln said,

*Most folks are as happy

as they make up their minds to be.*

Just for today:

I will adjust myself to what is,

and not try to adjust everything to my own desires.

 I will take my *luck* as it comes,

and fit myself into it

Just for today:

I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study.

I will not be a mental loafer.

I will read something that requires effort.

Thought and concentration.

Just for today:

I will exercise my soul in three ways:

it will do somebody a good turn

and not get found out;

if anybody know of it, it will not count.

I will do at least two things

 I don't want to do-- just for exercise.

I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt:

they may be hurt but today I will not show it.

Just for today:

I will be agreeable.

I will ook as well as I can, dress becomingly,

keep my voice low,be courteous,

criticize not one bit.

I won't find fault with anything,

nor try to improve or regulate anybody else but myself.

Just for today:

 I will have a program.

I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it.

I will save myself from two pests: Hurry and Indecision's.

Just for today:

I will have a quiet half hour all by myself, and relax.

During this half hour,

sometime I will try to get a better perspective of my life.

Just for today:

I will be un-afraid.

Especially I will not be afraid

 to enjoy what is beautiful,

and to believe

that as I give to the world,

so the world will give back to me.
