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.

LOL! Yep! It's superbowl Sunday!

I just found a whole bottle of Cuervo Gold. AND I have margarita mix. I think a drink is in order. It's a special day right? LOL

[blackie]

There are only a couple of things better than an adrenaline rush. :)

I was thinking of a run with some buddies, down to Winchester Bay for some great shellfish; next Sunday ~ I checked the extended weather map and it shows rain ~ we'll see. :)

Four hours of sleep? I hope it was for fun that you missed sleep. Just turn the TV onto any channel, it's all anyone is doing today.



Even the Sci-Fi channel is doing

PATRIOTS ARE FROM MARS
&
EAGLES ARE FROM PLUTO

My God! Come and get me, I'm limp.

Thank you! That was a religious experience that I'm going to share with my artist community - someone's bound to have seen it.
