JUST FOR TODAY

As I go through some "troubles" in my own life, I've worked out this "formula" to help me be a useful and happy person. See if it doesn't work for you!

JUST FOR TODAY: I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle my whole life problem at once.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will be happy. I will assume to be true what Abraham Lincoln said: "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be."

JUST FOR TODAY: I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will exercise my soul in three ways: I will do somebody a good turn, and not get found out. I will do at least two things I don't want to do just for exercise. I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt; they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit, not find fault with anything, and not try to improve or regulate anybody but myself.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will have a program. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have lt. I will save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will have a quiet half hour all by myself. During this half hour, I will try and get a better perspective of my life.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give back to me.

I keep getting sidetracked, even tho I'm watching. Glad you are keeping up the scoring end.

I understand this much so far:

touchdown = 6 points

field goal = 1 point

Any idea how NE's score went from 21 to 24? Did they get half a touchdown? ;)

They kicked a field goal. Those are worth 3 points.

Touchdown = 6 points

Extra point = 1 point

Field goal = 3 points

2 point conversion = 2 points

1,016 posted on 02/06/2005 6:58:50 PM PST by Bethbg79 (God bless our Troops and their families!)

Field goal = 3 points

point after touchdown = 1 point

Thanks!

Now:

What I thought was a field goal is the point after the touchdown.

What's a field goal?
