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.

Usually I'd wait and have you tell me about it, but at that price I think I'm going to order it tonight! I have to get some DVDs, so my order will be big enough to get the free shipping!

(Requests?................What do ~ YOU ~ wanna hear?)
To: Old Sarge; StarCMC; Kathy in Alaska; LaDivaLoca; mylife; All
Oh, you dragon of the night
fill my heart with much delight
you crafty devil snorting fire
come close now I have your desire
to be human in the dripping cave
You hold the gem in your claw
notice I fear you not at all
approaching you eye to eye
send your smoke, yes, let it fly
It pleases me you show your scales
for they are not hard as nails
but soft and tender like a flower
cause you did show me one late hour
The roar is mighty, the fire is fierce
your smoke is chocking, thick and black
to cover all around in sack and ashes
you would have us racked lying head to foot
and back to back
So dear dragon hiss and roar
for it's your duty and your store
the legend lives through the eons
some we build in our head
but YOU dear dragon will never be dead!

To: Lady Jag

BTW - We got the Muny lineup the other day! I'll have to remember to post it to you tomorrow...when I'm in the office where the list is!

Don't I WISH!!! Well, the jaw's a little different, but you can't deny the resemblance. You also can't disprove what Robert Burns said . . . that you can't see yourself as others, like me, see you. See?

Tell that to Old Sarge. I'm not getting into the middle of a fitness for duty melee.
I'll just watch.
