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.

My finger goes into pointy mode.

A year or two ago I had a trigger finger. A cortisone shot in the palm side of the knuckle cured that. It was my middle finger. It would get stuck closed and, when it came unstuck, it would briskly stand to attention. Glad that's over.

Isn't the miracle of technology cool? Half a world and the International Dateline away and we can literally talk about what's happening on TV as it happens!

[Soaring Feather]

Whirling, whirling in the night
spinning, spinning like a top
her long hair sweeping out oer her shoulder
like a cape the poet dances one last fling
on sand beaches and star fill nights love
on the wing and lust in the wind

Like a banshee left to howl on soggy bogs
she rests a while to contemplate the emptiness
within between the bones, sinew,and skin
Dawn dances on the horizon now and the dancer
must enfold her capes and hair and recede back in
for day is not her time to dance and set out to rhyme

Slowly her colors fade and like a ghost her face is laid
in dark clouds to hide til night when again she is freed
for flight....
and the joy of dancing light.
