Chipping Away at Defects of Character

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will let go of resentments. I will pray for the person(s) who aren't doing what I think they should be doing. When I see someone being what I see as abusive, I tend to try to protect the person being abused. I lived it too many years and didn't know I had the right to leave. I was too insecure to step out on my own.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will continue to pray for healing and help for myself and ask for the same for others, that they get what they need according to the Higher Good of all.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will ask for the willingness to be willing, to do what I need to do for my health and well being. When I get a mental, emotional, physical, or spiritual block, I will pray and ask for what I need to take down the barriers.

As the skunk says, "If your ego is not your amigo, you know it stinks!" The skunk means respect. Respect the skin your in.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will look at the whole picture and what is good for all.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will not take on other peoples stuff. I will acknowledge what is mind and let go of the rest.

HOW it works, Honest, Open Mindedness and Willingness, a slogan that I need to apply to all areas of my life.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will trust the process. I am a work in progress. Some days are just a little better than others. As a long-timer said many years ago, "I don't have bad days, I just have bad moments in a day."

One bad apple can spoil the whole bunch and/or barrel!

I firmly believe that we are products of our environment. If you hang around a bad apple, you can become a bad apple yourself. The say a positive and a negative becomes a negative. The law of science, which has proved true in my own life. We lived next door to three brothers who swore up a storm. They made up new swear words or they said words that made them sound like swear words. When I came into recovery, this little Christian girl who went to church and Sunday School, had a mouth like a long shore man. That is why my sponsor and spiritual adviser for NA said to clean up my body, mind and spirit and that means clean up your mouth.

Just for today, I will practice the principles in all my affairs. I will be honest with me and honest with you.

Just for today, I will not impatient with myself. As they say, "The body must have needed the rest." When I woke up I was hurting, but once I got up and moved around, ate dinner, and woke up, I find myself painless and able to sit at my computer and post. I lost some hours today, but this is a one day at a time program, some times moment by moment. It is what I put into those moments that count and I shouldn't be impatient and allow myself to go with the flow of the day. Be patient with myself and not try to make things happen. Things will unfold as they should, not always as I would have them.



The frog means cleansing away the old to make room for the new.

Just for today, I will go with the flow and allow the day to unfold as it should, not as I would have it be. We had lots of rain yesterday and I bathed my body with A535 extra-strength. It is my hope to get out for some exercise. More will be revealed.

Just for today, I will show my gratitude. The sun is shining, I was able to walk downtown and I didn't have to wait long for my bus to come home. I grateful that I found some sales. I got an extra-large box of Cornflakes for $3.49. Perogies were 2 for $5. in Denninger's the real deal, potato with onion, and potato with cheese. It is so great when things all come together. A good reason to say, "Thank You, Thank You, Thank You."

Just for today, I will not be contrary, I will be willing to do my God's Will for me in today. Today is my friend Theresa's birthday and I am hoping to meet up with her and treat her for brunch, I sent her an e-mail and she phoned me just now, and we are meeting about 10:30 a.m.



It is also ground hog day.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will take the day as it comes.

Managed to go to the meeting after meeting with my friend. I gave her a little gray elephant with pink ears and accessories because she has saved them for years.

Today I gave my chiropractor's appointment to me son because it rained all last night and today and re-booked for next Wednesday. Will wait and see what happens then.

I have only been awake about 3 hours and feel like going back to my bed. I slept yesterday early last night and a few nights lately, and have ended up awake all night and sleeping most of the day away. That is not healthy living and how I want to live in today. I will turn it all over to my Higher Power and put it all into His Hands, as to how He would have it be.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will accept what is best for my Higher Good. I will ask for help and be willing to listen for the answers. I will be open to God's Will for my life.
