Chipping Away at Defects of Character

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will remember that some bunny loves me. I will love myself and make healthy choice and practice self care. I won't discount what is going on in my life. I will validate who I am and know that it is okay to be me.

Just for today, I will give thanks for the gift of creation. Coming home from the doctors, I made a point of touching spruce and jasper trees and looking at the flowers, violets, panseys, tulips, daffodils, and so much more. The most prevalent wad dandelions. For me they are special. My son was two when he brought me a bouquet of them with many broken stems. I also love their sunshine yellow flowers.

Just for today, I will push through the pain and do what I need to do. I will take my time and remember "Easy Does It...but do it!" I am a hurting unit today, but it was good to get out in the sunshine, walk around and not sit in my four walls on the pity pot. The sunshine is healing and it is important not to isolate my soul.

Just for today, I will love not hate that the rain turned into snow. It is hard to believe, I looked out the window an hour ago and everything was clear outside even though it was windy. I know we need rain, especially in the western provinces, but snow is a bit much. Just for today, I will say, "This is for the Higher Good of all, and it isn't all about me."

This looks like my first puppy and he was called Rusty.

Just for today, I will practice self-care. My hands and fingers are numb, and I am aching all over as a result of my trip to the mall. I needed to take a book back that was due, so had to be responsible. I came on line fighting the fact that I felt like lying down, didn't want to spoil my sleep tonight, but have come to the conclusion, that it is best I take a time out and rest, and then I will hopefully feel more like posting later.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will forgive myself for not coming on line earlier and not posting. Last night I was running a fever and haven't been feeling up to par. I only had my TV on for about 2 hours all day, to watch The Voice result show and Jeopardy.

I know I always feel better as a result of being here, but the body just couldn't get up and rise to the occasion.

Just for today, I will choose sobriety. I will enjoy the moment, even if it is just doing dishes, cooking dinner, and taking a walk to the Pharmacy. I put garbage down the chute and heard my friend Barb talking at the elevator and went to say hello. She saw the dark bruise on my arm and asked what happened to me. I said I fell into a wall, not sure really what it was, I have been losing my balance a lot lately. She saw my son come in the building and asked him if he had seen my arm and did he cause it. He said she tries to be funny, but it wasn't, especially when people are around.

I have three medications that say "May cause dizziness." So I guess I am just a ditz!

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will trust in my Higher Power to see me through each day. He meets my needs, yet I must remember to pick them up. They are there, I just have to be open to receive.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will enjoy the bountiful gifts of nature. I will make a conscious effort to connect and apprecate the Creators many blessings. These are beautiful and it is nice to fill up your space with good things, but like to seem them in their natural state.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will accept what is. I have been in a lot of pain today. As they say, "We are where me are as a result of decisions made." I made the decision to wear a pair of black flats instead of my orthonics. No support, like walking on the sidewalk with cardboard soles Ouch.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will go with the flow and accept what is, knowing it is subject to change. Things will change, it is up to me to do my part. Sometimes my part is just to recognize what is and just allow my God to work His Will with my life.

Today I am having problems typing without makiing errors. This is something I have problems with, but I know it is my tremon disorder, plus the fact that I think I have some kind of virus as I have been playing Queen of the House for most of the day, sitting on my Throne.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am still working on acceptance. I missed my AA meeting today and my Al-Anon meeting yesterday. I am meeting up with a friend 11 hours from now to do brunch and go shopping for my sister's birthday present. I am hoping my body will be able to keep up. I am hoping to get more sleep and rest before then. If I don't sleep before 8 a.m., I will have to call and cancel the trip with Darts. What ever will be will be. If I am meant to go, it will happen. I will just have to give my body and my mind a little talking to.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will put some gratitude in my attitude. Grateful for good fun and frolic with a good friend, which lead to a very good day.

They say, "If you have gratitude, show it." Don't just talk about it. I certainly can't take it for granted. It is truly a gracious gift.

Just for today, I will trust the process. Things will unfold as they should, not always as I would have them be. It was nice to run into my friend downtown. I came home, decided to go and get the special on bottled water $1.88 for 24 and bought two and bathroom tissue was $3.99 for 12 rolls. I ended up spending over $100. because I bought a fan and some vitamins. I went back down to the pharmacy and she was there and we came home together.

When in doubt, look around and see what is happening with your life. It is a good day for me when I connect with others and I go with the flow, instead of running away from home and trying to make things happen. When I do, I don't make that spiritual connection with others.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will be myself. I will not role play and be something I am not to impress others. What you see is what you get. It was a great day in recovery when the insides matched the outside.
