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.

Dear Service Person

I don't know your name BUT I do know who you are.
YOU are a true Patriot and a Defender of our Freedom at home.
You choose to enlist when you did not have to.
You choose to put your life in harms way for us.
Know that at home there are millions upon millions
of people supporting YOU and your Brother and Sisters.
We will be waiting for YOU when you return.
May God watch over you and your Brothers and Sisters
in the military, no matter where they are stationed
or their job description.
Thank You for your service to our country.
Thank You for Standing the Watch.

Good morning, pekilyn!

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Thought you'd might like to see what happened to me last week.

I went to the store the other day. I was only in there for about 5 minutes. When I came out there was a city cop writing out a parking ticket.

I went up to him and said, "Come on, buddy, how about giving a gal a break?"

He ignored me and continued writing the ticket.  I called him a Nazi. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires. So I called him a piece of crap.

He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.

Then he started writing a third ticket.  This went on for about 20 minutes.....the more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote.

What do I care?   My car was parked around the corner.

I try to have a little fun each day.  It's important at my age.
