Chipping Away at Defects of Character

Just for today, I will remember the Serenity Prayer. I very much needed strength and courage today. I also had to ask for the words I needed to say, the way it needed to be said.

Just for today, I will forgive myself. Then I can be totally free of guilt feelings or remorse.

Just for today, I will remember that recovery has to begin with me. I have to heal and I can't give away what I don't have. I need to fill myself up, and only give away the over flow. How can I forgive others if i can't forgive myself? How can I truly love someone, if I can't love myself?

Sometimes I have to set boundaries and protect my personal space.

Just for today, I will practice patience and tolerance. I am going to see my sister today by Darts and I am not sure how the visit will go. I haven't seen her for quite some time and I missed seeing her over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday. My family have wheels but I don't, but I am making the effort to connect with her. I am hoping it is a van not one of their buses. There buses are like tin cans.

Just for today, I will be accepting of what is in the moment, knowing it is subject to change. I will try not to make things happen and will go with the flow and live each moment as it comes. More importantly, I will choose to be happy and make the best of my day.

Just for today, I will practice patience and tolerance of myself. I have slept most of the day away, gosh only knows what tonight will bring, so just have to turn it over. I have a doctor's appointment at 11:40 a.m., so hopefully I get enough sleep to get me there. I do have Darts scheduled, so will need to practice with them as well. I have never done waiting well.

Just for today, I will be humble. Humility is not thinking of yourself more, but in thinking more of yourself less often. I will watch the ego.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will continue to practice patience and tolerance. I will listen to my body and pay attention to what is happening with it. I wrote a list for the doctor and I got one out of the four things I listed actualized and the rest seemed to be fluffed off and not looked at because it was lunch time and there was no time to get my needs met. I was not happy. My appointment was for 11:40 a.m. and I saw the doctor at 12:40 p.m. and when I walked out of the building, Darts was waiting for me. So grateful I got home early.

Just for today, I will try to be accepting of the fact that another site is down and I am left with empty boxes. I guess I should give up and surrender and stop posting them. I love pictures as you can tell, they have a story to tell.

Just for today, I am still working on acceptance. I know I have an irregular heart beat, but it is crazy. I started with a BP of 149 and it went up to 165. It is suppose to go down and not up the longer you sit.

I want to do laundry, but wondering if it is safe to do so. Tomorrow is my home group don't want to miss that. So wondering if I should stay cautious, and leave the laundry to another day. It has waited this long, what does it matter if it waits two or more days.

[dwmoeller]

Just for today, I will be full of love...love of God of my understanding, love of self, and love for our fellow mankind.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will trust the process. We are where we are at in today as a result of decisions made. I can choose again and make healthier choices and trust my God to show me the way.

Just for today, I will strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought, and concentration.
