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.

" Pardon me, but that was an exquisitely gorgeous pic." LOL--The revolting part was when I realized what the "rain drops" were; the enticing part=exquisitely gorgeous but was too asleep to come up with anything better! Hey Jag, I'm still half-asleep! LOL Actually the pic is very interesting and unusual... I was wondering where you got it because I would like to get a copy...wait a minute, I just remembered you're an artist. I suppose you photoed it yourself? Rats!

Doing great. FReegards to you.
My memory fails me on that right now but I'll see if I can dig it up.
The Super Bowl. Don't think it's going to be much of a game but I'll sure be watching.

My sister raises those dogs and I have two.
They herd cats here (and goats and deer.)
They make a lot of things jump!

Well go on! I bet you'll be sadly dissapointed later.
Then again, I am not a betting man. I am a wagerer.

I went looking for the original but I guess it's no longer on this hard drive. Each perfect little round bead of water reflects the web in it. It really is beautiful. I have somewhere a series of beautiful spider web photos . . . that I can't find right now.

Are you really his Sis?
Tomkow insists that all all the pics he posts are his nieces, cousins kids.
Where in the lineup... middle child?
