Just for today, I will have a sense of humor. I am going to let the little kid in me out and learn to laugh for the gut.

MajestyJo · 03-29-2017, 02:32 PM

Just for today, I will remember that meeting makers make it. It was so good to get to my Al-Anon group today. I haven't been there for several weeks. I am grateful that my AA meeting is more. Additional food for the soul, can't get too much of it.

Just for today, I will practice patience on all the things in my life that I need to tolerate. If you pray for patience, you get lots of things to practice on. Don't remember praying, but maybe my God thought I need some more practice on tolerance.

dwmoeller · 03-31-2017, 03:13 PM

Just for today, I will take time to think. I will take time to read. I will take time to play. I will work with my hands. I will count my blessings!

MajestyJo · 03-31-2017, 07:30 PM

Just for today, I will let go of my anger. I was so angry at the Dart's guy the other day who said he couldn't find me if he didn't know what building to go to. Today when I went, the number 565, which I gave them was right over the door to where I have my appointment. They also had the suite number, but I always make sure that I at the door at the right time. I had a few choice words for him. I couldn't believe it. They had dropped me off and picked me up twice and all of a sudden they had a problem. I need to say a prayer for him, because he is a regular staff, so I will get him again.

Just for today, I have made up my mind to enjoy the day no matter what happens. At the moment, I am hurting, but I am not going to let that stop my day. I have my heating pad on my back to limber it up so I can get mobile today.

MajestyJo · 04-02-2017, 11:12 PM

Just for today, I will practice patience and tolerance. I don't like housework, but did get busy in my kitchen today. Have to be patient and tolerant of myself. I tried to do three things at once - read my book, watch curling, and do dishes too.

dwmoeller · 04-03-2017, 09:58 AM

Just for today, I will stay sober for me, not someone else (like my son and daughter) -- otherwise it doesn't work.

dwmoeller · 04-04-2017, 08:31 AM

Just for today, I will try to get more sleep. I need to go to bed earlier so I can get more sleep. Getting more sleep will help improve my physical health.

MajestyJo · 04-04-2017, 04:33 PM

Just for today, I will accept what is in today. If I don't I stay stuck, and there is no way I want to stay where I am at in today and where I was yesterday. A lot of paralyzingly pain, and not able to think or work through it. The one good thing about it was that I did get sleep. I had 2 hours sleep the two days before. Catch up can be a good thing. The only thing worse than me was my computer. It was so slow and it takes a lot of patience to use it.

Just for today, I will let the little kid in me out -- learn how to laugh from the gut. They say, "Laughter is the Best Medicine". I believe this is true. Having a good sense of humor and being able to laugh are important to good mental health.

MajestyJo · 04-07-2017, 05:49 AM

Just for today, I will apply the program to my life. It is a living program and applicable to all areas of my life, be it mental, emotional, spiritual, and/or physical.

I have to have a sense of humor and laugh at myself at times. I know, and often need to heed my own words. So easy to help others and ignore your own issues.

MajestyJo · 04-08-2017, 08:33 PM

Just for today, I will give thanks for the healing and help I got at the Holistic Center today. It has been difficult to walk lately, and I feel so much better. I know I will need another treatment at least before it gets any better.

MajestyJo · 04-09-2017, 09:27 PM

Just for today, I will lower my expectations and raise my level of acceptance. It is what it is and I am powerless over people, places, and things.

MajestyJo · 04-10-2017, 09:18 PM

Just for today, I will give myself a hug. I am lovable and deserving of love. When I meet people, especially new ones, I always say, "Do you do hugs?" I don't want to invade there space. Sometimes they have trouble reaching out a hand to connect with you. I was told, "You are only half a hand shake you know.
