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.

L0L That picture sums up their personality rather well!

From what you said, it probably trained the cat and the mice, as well!

[GummyIII]

Oh, that reminds me of a tale:

Y'all know I'm from hillbilly country, Virginia (Fawnn's heard the accent...lol!). I was in Los Angeles with the Oracle folks one summer. We were eating at one of the UCLA cafeterias and had something good. Well, one of the yuppies said, "This is good for cafeteria food!"

I responded, "Yep, but it's not as good as that opposum I had last week. It was fresh off the side of the road."

Do you know they BELIEVED ME!?!?!?!?!?

[Bethbg79]

LOL! ;-)

Drive safe and watch out for the crazies!!

[GummyIII]

You are SO RIGHT!! I couldn't remember....(it had to be either late or early or I was still asleep...grin)

[Bethbg79]

Yep..silly Radix.

Did you sleep well?

[uncleshag]

[AZamericonnie]

[blackie]

How red is your state? I sometimes make house calls, especially when it's cold and snowy in New England.
