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.

[luvie]

Always ready for a party! What shall I bring? Burritos okay?
Of course, there're more where those came from!

[Bethbg79]

I love it!

[pelikan]

fine as long as i can do likewise!

[uncleshag]

I've been mixing sand and mortar all my life and he makes a career out of wiping 8 ounces around on a projector.

What's up with that?, Gummy?

[Bethbg79]

Well, I had help..I found the link on another thread..lol

Glad you enjoyed it. :-)

[Darksheare]

I admit to a bit of cantankerous meany in there with a hint of insane glee and pleasure at watching someone realise that he's made a horrific mistake in removing his promask.
*chuckle*

Probably why I got asked if I was the Devil.

[AZamericonnie]

I love this song too! I also like the "my give a damn's busted" you posted. That was the first I'd heard it!

[Bethbg79]

hello! *waves*

[StarCMC]

He he he!! Hiding the horns are ya??

[Darksheare]

Blackened bacon with so called scrambled eggs, and an MRE in reserve just in case one has to sneak away from the nasty exploding sausages.
(I have NO idea why they're even called sausages and served as such, they're an evil form of sentient sausage link shaped alien I'd assume. Along with the living mobile jello..)

[AZamericonnie]

as i can do likewise

That's a given!!! Course my cupboards are pretty bare...lol *hugz*

[Darksheare]

Hello!

[StarCMC]

Yeah - it's a good one too. As a matter of fact I'm gonna play it now. This one goes out to you AZ, and to RW, aka Short Dawg...give 'em hell, lady! And thanks!!

Jo Dee Messina - My Give A Damn's Busted

[Darksheare]

Have to.
My brother had his sawed off and it left twin scars.
*chuckle*

[StarCMC]

There's an evil joke in that somewhere!

[GummyIII]

It's all in the wrist, unc! LOL!!

[E.G.C.]

Good afternoon, Old Sarge. How's it going?

[Jen]

{{{{{HUGS}}}}}

I'm finally feeling "normal" again after battling a nasty flu bug. I read each one of your updates, but I haven't been posting much. Hubby is out of town for a job interview in the morning, so guess I'll watch the Super Bowl with my critters, even though I really don't care which team wins. Blessings to you and your youngsters. Thanks to each of you for protecting our country.

{{{{{MORE HUGS}}}}} (and there's plenty more where those came from! hahaha)

[AZamericonnie]

nasty exploding sausages

We'll, I suppose they could serve a dual purpose then!! *L* That doesn't sound very yummy!

[Radix]

I have not anything like that before.
