Just for today, I won't fight and block the flow in my life. I have been listening to Country Classics while posting and I haven't had a yawn yet, I haven't been to sleep all night and all morning. It is an old habit of mine to set things aside to do what I want to do in the moment. I can see it as Self-centered and not God-centered. I am posting because I want to go to my NA meeting tonight, don't want to wait to post at 9 pm instead of 9 am.

MajestyJo · 03-31-2018, 07:32 AM

Just for today, I am praying for some acceptance and patience. Not only with myself, but with my son also.

MajestyJo · 04-01-2018, 01:50 PM

Just for today, I will pray for patience. I have to wait for my ride to my sisters. i am waiting for the food, because she always prepares lots and it is always good. it is my birthday and i know i will get birthday hugs there.

MajestyJo · 04-02-2018, 12:47 AM

just for today, i will try to stay balanced. I have had a great birthday as well as a good Easter. i am enjoying natural highs, and i need to stay grounded.

MajestyJo · 04-03-2018, 02:32 PM

It is important for me to keep in touch with others, especially those in the program. i am hoping my feet will co-operate and get me to my group tonight seeing as i missed Friday and Sunday meetings. I notice a change in me when i don't get. The biggest flaw i see s my mouth gets too mouthy and starts to cuss.

MajestyJo · 04-04-2018, 09:49 PM

Just for today, I will give thanks for the energy I have been given to do my laundry, all four loads of it of just sheets, towels and my comforter. God is very good to me.

MajestyJo · 04-05-2018, 03:33 PM

Just for today, I will do what I can and leave the rest for another day. I have found myself shoulding today, shoulding here shoulding there. i need to lower my expectations of myself. I am no getting any younger. I need to stop and let my brain catch up to me.

MajestyJo · 04-06-2018, 10:14 AM

Just for today, I need some patience and acceptance. I have a head ache and my tremon disorder has made it difficult to type. Between the two, having trouble being myself. As the slogan says, "This too shall pass,' I hope.

MajestyJo · 04-07-2018, 11:03 AM

just for today, I will go with the flow. I think I will go back to bed to see if I can catch some more sleep, if not I will take myself downtown.

Made it to my group last night even though it was snowing so that is good. Recovery for me is living in the moment, practicing the program to the best of my ability, as \i try to do my God's Will each day.

MajestyJo · 04-08-2018, 02:54 PM

just for today, I will be accepting of what is in today. I went back to my bed three times, and that is why, this is my morning and my posts are late. it doesn't look like one of my better days, but I am aiming toward making it to my NA meeting tonight.

MajestyJo · 04-09-2018, 08:36 AM

just for today, I will look at what I do have and not compare by looking at what I don't have. Each day is a new beginning. It is what I make it, so I shouldn't wish my life away.

MajestyJo · 04-10-2018, 02:57 PM

Just for today, I need to be mindful of my energy as I want to go to the NA meeting tonight. My son took my library books back and if i do laundry, I sit and read my book while clothes are washing and drying. if i have the energy to get the bags on my walker and down to the laundry room, I should be good to go.

I bought some Ginseng to see if it will help me. I just took a pill two days ago. I think I will take one today and see what happens. The pharmacist told me to be mindful of my blood pressure.

i think the 7th Step prayer is what I need, my God's will for me. Life is good when we work through the fear.

MajestyJo · 04-11-2018, 10:49 PM

Just for today, which isn't far from being over, makes it hard to figure out what I need for the day when I slept most of it away. I guess it is more acceptance needed. My feet and my legs below the knee were paining and kept me up last night, then when I wanted to sleep, i got 3 phone calls and didn't make it into bed until 11:30 a.m.

First of all I can't beat myself up, but perhaps I should give myself a good talking to or getting my 24 hours out of the wrong portion of the day. I know a day can start any time and i have applied this many times to my life over the years, but if i am honest, a lot of it is often self justification. I already feel like going back to bed, so maybe there is hope for me yet. I am sure my Higher Power will get me back to where I AM SUPPOSE TO BE. PERHAPS, I AM JUST WHERE I AM SUPPOSE TO BE.

Sorry for the yelling, I am having problems with my keyboard.

MajestyJo · 04-12-2018, 03:15 PM

Just for today, I will take care of myself. I am very tired and practically falling asleep on the job, but I want to finish posting what i can. Not many words of wisdom today, my brain feels fogged up. it could be Fibro fog or just the fact I have only had about 3 hours sleep. When I post late, I feel guilty.

MajestyJo · 04-13-2018, 03:00 AM

Just for today, I will not let anything get in the way of me making it to my home group tonight. The fact that I am awake now means means that I have to find some rest and sleep before 7 pm.
