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.

Well, you're still trying to catch up after I'm sure a busy weekend. I'm really not on either side but it is a good game.

Day is going great! It's been very relaxing. Connor is with his dad until after the game. He's over there with him having a male bonding session between the boys. Tony was taking him to a friend's house. Figured it was good for him. LOL

Sounds like a good deal. He's old enough to start learning the "guy things" about football. LOL!! One can just imagine.

And Tony knows there'd be a SERIOUS reduction in the time he has left on this earth if anything suspicious should occur. ;-)

LOL! In all honesty...I'm a forever Blue and Silver Cowboys fan. I only pulled for the Eagles to tweak the New England fans in my office!

I was actually here ONLY for the food and beverage this year! LOL!
