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.

program on AFN later today showing all the commercials

Heck, that's the best part!!! Actually for me this year the best part was pre-game. Charlie Daniels, Gretchen Wilson & mostly an awsome tribute to our Military.

[txradioguy]

Thanks ma! I needed that.

[StarCMC]

Skipping to the end - I had to feed Jake and herd the others to bed - I didn't know it would take so long! LOL!!!

Was that Anheuser Busch spot the best ever?? Squeezit looked at me - as she always does - to grin at me because it brought tears to my eyes.

[txradioguy]

Now THERE is a team that I can REALLY cheer for!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Kids are so perceptive, and learn what "gets to" Mom. I missed it. Where was it?

[txradioguy]

Mine???

[txradioguy]

Mine???

[txradioguy]

Mine???

Go Cowboys!!!

[Fawnn]

I liked the ones for Ameriquest taser and Pizza Hut Muppet Show ("Miss Piggy is hitting the sauce again!" LOL).

Off to find the Busch ad I missed.

"Going bananas...and mentally calculating all the bets he's going to collect on...!"

That last score by the Eagles cost me $800.00 on a Square pool! Gnarly! At least my team won.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I want you to go on air with a smile on your face. LOL!!

[Bethbg79]

Thanks!

[pelikan]

Ma! How can you post that sacrilige! We need a RAMS pic...everyone knows they're the true contenders next year; NOT the Cowboys!! Wait til Star sees this...

[pelikan]

In my world that amount is a heck lot more than gnarly...but then again we galz don't do the betting that you guys do...glad your team won. Enjoy, next year will be RAMS or at least a Rams vs Pats scenario. (I'm hoping)

[txradioguy]

Nah...she's doing JUST FINE with all those wonderful Cowboys pics.

[Kathy in Alaska]

There was no coasting today! Although, I must say, a close game is better to watch. No complacency allowed.

[StarCMC]

It was supposed to be an airport terminal or a bus station or something. They showed several scenes of people just doing normal stuff and then a bunch of soldiers start walking through and everyone stops and stands and claps for them as they walk through. At the end it just said "thank you" ~ YES! I WAS BAWLING!

[pelikan]

Yeaahhh, in your world I guess so! LOL
