Chipping Away at Defects of Character

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will turn my day over to my God. My son informed me that I spent too many hours on the computer. He doesn't see it as my work, I see it as service and helping others, by helping myself. There are times though, that I have to turn my computer over to my God, to take any obsessive/compulsive behaviors and thinking away.

Just for today, I will choose recovery. I will take care of myself.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will work on my procrastination. If I don't, I will be embara$$ed. I am down to a pair of jeans and a couple of heavy sweat pants. I even wore my "only wear when you haven't done laundry" pants. They seem to want to go backwards when I want to move forward. To top it off, I wore them this morning down to the pharmacy, and they started to fall down, so I wore my jeans to my appointment today.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will practice patience and tolerance. I have a son in the grips of active addiction. It is hard to watch him disappear before my eyes.

http://www.angelwinks.ca/iq/chqc23.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will continue to practice patience and tolerance. My son is being quarrelsome and my allergies don't like going into a hospital. I will go see my sister and take an allergenic pill.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdog308.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will practice saying, "No!" and mean it. It is hard being a mother and an Al-Anon member too.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdogkittencuddling.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will practice self love and not beat myself up. I keep saying, "Well I must have needed it, but waking up at 3:10 p.m. because of a phone call is not good.

The phone call was good, a reminder of my eye doctor's appointment on Wednesday. My attitude wasn't good when I heard the phone ring, and trying to get to the phone before the answering machine clicked in was not.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpod1065.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will get honest with myself and others. My doctor said, "How are you?" I told him awful! I looked at the pros and cons of going to my usual NA meeting tonight, but did an inventory and made the decision to stay home and look after myself. Don't want to be sick for Christmas.

The reason for the Season.

http://www.angelwinks.ca/iq/chqc33.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try to organize my day so that I don't run out of steam, and can accomplish what I need to do.

http://www.angelwinks.ca/images/christmas/c138.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will not let Ms. Perfection have her own way. I will try to do the best I can, in the moment, and let my God lead and direct.

http://angelwinks.net/iq/chqc12.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will apply my program to my life to the best of my ability. I picked up the phone and called my chiropractor who I have procrastinated about calling. I didn't want him to touch my shoulder after getting the cortisone shot. I have been having head aches and they are a sure sign I need to see him.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/thoughtpod/thoughtpod955.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will allow myself a time out. Not feeling on top of the world, so going to nurture the body, instead of pushing it do that extra mile. I allowed myself to roll over and go back to sleep, twice.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1151.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will make it simple. I need to post. I need to cook dinner. I need to make it to my NA meeting. Somewhere in there I need to do a couple of loads of laundry.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcbabybottlefeet.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will give thanks for my recovery by sharing it with others. It is important that I take my recovery out of the rooms and apply it to my every day living, at home, in the community, and with family and friends. I have so much to be grateful for. The biggest being that I can still read and still walk around.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qc2kittyhug3.jpg

[dwmoeller]

Just for today, I will fully rely on God. I will let God direct my thinking. I will trust in God.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will practice being patient and tolerant with myself. I am sorting through clothes and breaking my denial and accept the fact that winter is truly here. We got snow!

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpod1073.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try not to nurture myself and take care of some 'me' things that I need to get caught up on. As I shared last night, I can get busy and not take time to deal with my own issues. Busy is not always good. Busy is better than doing nothing, but it can lead to nothing, if I don't take care of myself.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcanpixie.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will not let anything stand in the way of making it to my group today. I needed to get out of my own way, I can be my own worst enemy.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1156.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will conserve my energy as I have three things to do today. I go to the foot clinic, so I have a leg to stand on. I go to my chiropractor to get my body aligned, and then to my NA group to feed my spirit.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1157.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will come out of isolation and socialize. This is a 'we' program. That includes community and friends outside of the program.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdogworangeflowers2.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will align my will with my God's. All I have planned for is the meeting tonight. They say if you want to make your God laugh, tell Him your plans. Hope we are on the same page. I am also planning a nap, so we will see.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1159.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will practice patience and tolerance. I have an appointment with my heart specialist. Tomorrow my social worker is coming. She had some gifts for me for the holiday.

http://www.angelwinks.ca/images/christmas/anc69.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will express my gratitude. More importantly, I will live my gratitude by taking action. My social worker is bring gifts to me for the holiday. Tonight I am taking coleslaw to the NA meeting New Beginnings, who is serving a Christmas dinner before it's meeting. It is important to give back.

http://angelwinks.net/iq/chqc8.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, going to play it by ear. Got dressed and showed up for the day and things just seemed to happen, even though I wasn't too pleased with some of the action.

Paid my bills, got my groceries and necessities for my home, and the money just seemed to disappear. I don't like putting money out for things I can't eat or drink. That is an old tape, and although it is better, it could take some adjusting.

http://www.angelwinks.ca/iq/cheveqc1.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will keep my spirit up. I will feed it spiritual food. The best thing we can do is to help another and not tell anyone what you did. Life is good. Having a good friend beside you, makes it even better.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/thoughtpod/thoughtpod968.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will live each day to it's fullest. It is up to me to make the best of each day with what I have been given. I just have to be open to things as they come. Tonight is my NA home group and a member's four year anniversary. So today is mine, tonight is hers.

http://www.angelwinks.ca/images/christmas/c184.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will practice patience and tolerance. My thought want to go into tomorrow and going to the NA meeting. I phoned to see if a ride was available with Darts, but they are booked up. I was told to phone back to see if anything became available later.

http://www.angelwinks.ca/images/christmas/c399.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will give thanks, not only for the alone time, but for the opportunity to be supportive of others.

https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Inspirational-Images/Galatians_5-22.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, it is always patience and tolerance when I am with family. When I accept them for who they are, and where they are coming from, I can do the patient and tolerance thing much better. I just don't like game playing. I think I am getting too old for it.

http://www.angelwinks.ca/images/christmas/c225.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, more patience and tolerance. My pharmacy didn't open at it's usual time, so I have to wait to pick up my medication for the week. Hope that doesn't mean Darts being late picking me up for my meeting tonight. Last week they didn't get me there on time. Just trying to stay in the moment, in today.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qckittenwpinkflowers2.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am working on doing what needs to be done instead of procrastinating. I managed to do two loads of laundry, then the body crashed. Now after eating, I am having chest pains, so trying to get my posting done so I can take myself back to bed.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1169.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I plan to stay in and not go out in the cold. If my leg will let me stand and move on it, i will do up some dishes for starters. I also have some library books to read, so it is a do day, but not going out to that cold.

http://www.angelwinks.ca/images/christmas/ckristina25.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will reach out to others. I am new to the members of my group. It is important to remember that I am a newcomer, not someone who things she knows it all. It is a one day at a program. That is applicable to every day of my life. I just have more times practicing and screwing up.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcbunnies435.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will give myself permission to go back to bed to try to get some more sleep. It was my fault that I got lost in my book and didn't put it down. I book is due in three day another in four days, so that means doing some heavy reading. TV and my computer have gotten in the way of something I really like to do.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcporch336.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will live this day to it's fullest. That means going back to my bed at some point and getting more sleep. I plan to do service tonight, hoping people show up for the NA New Year's Service. It is my goal to be there for any newcomers.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod28.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will accept what is and not project into the future. I will take things one day at a time. I will lower my expectations and raise my level of acceptance of what is in the moment, knowing it is subject to change, not in my time, but according to God's Will.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcelephant438.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will turn things over to my HP. It is windy and cold with the promise of more snow, so I will wait to see if I want to go out in the cold.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod30.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will ask my God for what I need for my Higher Good. I need to go to the mall, a lot will depend on the weather as to whether I walk or take a taxi or bus there.

I had hoped my son would take my library books but he did not. I need to be responsible and take them back on time.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdogpicketfence.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will dig deep and find some patience and tolerance. My son went to the food bank and they gave him more hair care products than food. He doesn't need much as he just had his shaved by his aunt before Christmas. He was not a happy camper.

I was looking for treats. I gave him the double chocolate cookie thins and I took the fibre 1 lemon Delights. I had 2 for my lunch. Just one doesn't enter my head when they are about 2" square probably closer to 1 1/2". I did have two tape measures at one time and now I can find none.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpod1096.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will work my program to the best of my ability. I will do some service (go to my group tonight), apply the Steps (some days I need all 12), and connect with my God to see what He would have me do.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod33.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try not to worry. Not feeling good and my left arm is sore and I keep telling myself it is my arthritis, not my heart. Arthritis I candeal with, heart I am not too sure. I got out of bed twice today and couldn't bring myself to post.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/thoughtpod/thoughtpod984.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try to be accepting of what is in the minute. Something has to change soon, I am going to call my doctor's office on Monday. Not sure if I should call my heart doctor or family doctor.

As they say, "Nothing changes if nothing changes." I seem to be singing the same old song time and again.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/nostalgicpod/nostalgicpod97.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try to organize my time. Not just in thought, but action too. Lately following thought with action hasn't been one of my strong points. It has been more like think, and think again, and still not have a clue.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/gmpod/gmpod98.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will do what I need to get done and let go of the rest. It was a difficult day, mentally as well as physically. My arthritis was bothering, I had a head ache all day, but I finally got the body to sleep and ease some of the pain. I did get downstairs to get my medications for the week, have some lunch and dinner before I went to sleep. I had thought of sleeping the day away, but my God woke me up, so I could do my posting for today. For that I am grateful, I always feel better after doing it.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpod1101.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will accept things as they are, not as I would have them be. Quite often when it is raining, I will cancel my chiropractor's appointment. I generally take a taxi there then walk two blocks back to a bus stop, grab a bus and go to the mall. I use to make my appointments in the morning so I could go to my Al-Anon meeting. Since I have been having problems with my balance, I have quit going to the Al-Anon meeting. Since I started getting Meals on Wheels, I have to be home between 11 am and 1 pm, I can't go to my Al-Anon meeting or my AA meeting which is also at 12 noon.

Today, because it was raining, I took the taxi to my appointment and a taxi home. I had thought of cancelling, but I knew my body needed the adjustment. I went 4 weeks and I generally have to go 2-3 weeks to see him, so that was good. As my doctor said, "I needed the treatment, but my body adjusted much better than he though it would." He also said that perhaps the year 2018 was going to be a mobile year for me.

I am glad I accept things as they were, and put the money out for the taxi to and from the doctot' instead of cancelling. It is good to practice self-care.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcgirlkittenbook1.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will allow others to be who they are and recognize as to where they are at. I was once there, so I can empathize with them. People are saying that I am a good bridge player, and it is nice strokes to receive. I know enough to get my ego out of the way, because I am not playing the level of bridge that I use to play. There are a lot of players so much better than I. Having said that, I can endorse myself for a game well played. I might not be as good as I use to be, but I can still play the game.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qc2huggingcats1.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will practice patience and tolerance. It isn't very good weather wise today, so I am grounded. More so than usual because I have to stay in my apartment waiting for servicemen, I can't even go down into the mall downstairs for some exercise. In a way that is good, then I don't spend my money. ;) Patience with the telephone repairman to tell them it is their product, not something I did.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod40.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am praying and asking for a more gentle and kinder spirit. Yesterday I felt like old grumpy face and didn't like myself too much. I was hurting, I couldn't make it to my business meeting and my home group meeting, and I felt guilty. Having said that, I know I couldn't have walked across the street without hurting myself or someone else if they walked me over. I know we are suppose to take care of ourselves, but being there for others is important to me. I know my God forgives me, I just have to forgive myself.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdoghello1.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will ask for God's Will for my life. I am not feeling so great and wondering if I should cancel Darts and not go to my meeting tonight. Having said that, I picked up the phone to call. I have to see about booking a ride for tomorrow, but thinking of cancelling that too and rebooking. If I am not feeling better soon, I will have to cancel Tuesday, but I won't make a decision about that yet. One day at a time.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/thoughtpod/thoughtpod992.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will tell myself and others kind thoughts. I won't beat myself up. I will be my own best friend. Feeling kind of down because I am not feeling all that great.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcanteddy452.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try to live God-centered instead of self-centered. I am having problems posting because of the tremon disorder which is now in both hands, and lately since my doctor took the nerve pill away, my whole body is shaking. Trying to hold a cup is difficult. Twice now my bagel has fallen from my plate to the floor. I have had to use the 5 second rule, although I think it takes me longer than that to get the body down to pick it up. I am hoping that by the time I have finished posting, that my body will let me walk downtown for some exercise. I had a difficult time getting out of bed because of lack of muscle mass. One day at a time.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qckittysmile1.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will take a time out. I will use the tools of the program to maintain my peace and serenity on a day where everything could go wrong and did. They say that things happen for a reason, haven't figured out why, perhaps it is not up to me to know, just trust that my God has better things planned for me.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdogcurlersoncouch.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will practice acceptance. I haven't had my dinner, haven't had much sleep, but I accept this day as it comes. It helps to take away any stress. I don't try to get more sleep, it will come when it gets here. I just have to be ready in time to go to my doctor's appointment tomorrow.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdog355.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will ask for patience and tolerance. My appointment is for 11:50 am and I put my pick up time at 1:00 pm as I have to get blood work done besides my doctor's appointment, I also need faith that things will come together. I was going to change my drop of place at the mall instead of at home, but I need to conserve my energy for my group tonight.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1192.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will remember to pick up the phone and connect with friends. As the owner of the bridge club said, "How do you find a good partner? Be one!

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcchild457.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will stay in the moment. I will do a Step Eleven and connect with my Higher Power and ask for the healing of my tremon disorder. It has been really difficult typing today and my hands are doing weird things as well as my fingers not going where I want them to go. I have had to ask for patience and tolerance to get things done.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod49.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will walk in faith, that I am where I am suppose to be. I just realized I had some fear about going today to the Good Shepherd, not sure why, unless it is that I feel others are worse off than me. Even though I qualify, I feel guilty about going there. My social worker arranged it all. All I have to do is show up. I have had stomach pain, which probably means there is some anxiety there too. Quite a bag of mixed feeling, and I know it won't be as bad as my magic magnifying mind envisions.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/thoughtpod/thoughtpod1000.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am going to be my own best friend. I am in a lot of pain and going to take myself back to bed after I finish signing in and sharing with others who have posted.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/thoughtpod/thoughtpod1001.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will concentrate on prayer and meditation with my new cards on Trees, Shaman, and Crystals. Yesterday's meditation said my body need a cleansing and the removal of toxins in my body. I am on antibiotics, so it was fitting.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpod1116.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try to listen to learn and learn to listen to the best of my ability. A case worker is coming to measure me for a new walker. I don't know if she is bringing one with her or just taking measurements. The one she brings with her may not be mine, it just may be a tool for doing the measurements, so I can't get my hopes up too high.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod53.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will share with others. Tonight is my home group in NA and I hope I can make it across the feet. The feet have been badly swollen, so it means feet up today if I want to go to a meeting tonight. I have to accept, it is what it is, adjust your thinking accordingly.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/thoughtpod/thoughtpod1004.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will forget the past. I will not live my life with eyes focused on the past and miss out on what is happening in today. When I project into the future, I am missing out on today. I have to live in the moment and let go and let God.

http://www.gasconaderivermtncurs.com/animated_20squirrel.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will ask for patience. Pay day is tomorrow!

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1201.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will be unafraid. I know I am in my God's Hands. I am hurting a lot and having trouble sitting at my compute typing. Just trying to do what I can do in the moment.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpod1121.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try to do the do things in my life. I forgot yesterday about writing out a cheque for my bills. I am shaking and not typing well, so not sure what the writing will look like. I leave it all up to my God, not to right my cheques, but to make me alright with me.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod58.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I have been praying for piece and contentment. I managed to get one thing done as a result of waking up feeling really good until I got on the computer.
Some days are better than others. Nothing special this day, but I haven't made up my mind as to whether I am enjoying myself or not.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/thoughtpod/thoughtpod1009.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will accept what is in the moment, and then I can change. I just about had my sleeping patters down to good hours and the right time, now I have to start over again.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcmonkey269.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will work on my acceptance of what is in the moment. Because I was posting, I left it too late to put my carrot around the roast, so I think I will take a break and cook one on top of the stove. I don't have to like it to accept it. I do like carrots in any form and not about to throw a hissy fit, because I didn't do what I told myself what I was going to do in today.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpod1126.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will put myself on my diabetic diet. My clothes are not fitting me because I have been swollen up like a balloon. I don't know how much is swelling and how much is fat or if it is one and the same. I do love my bagels.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1208.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try to be a bigger participant in my life. Sleeping the say away is not good, especially when you couldn't put an Iris Johansen book down to go to sleep.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpod1128.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will accept what is and pray that I can change things around. It is hard to say "Just for today" when your day is Just for Tonight." I cancelled Darts again and didn't go to my usual NA meeting. It is true my feet are too swollen to put on shoes, so I need to pray for what I need to change those too. Like the other day, twice now, I have pulled Get Some Rest and Dietary Change.

This is my Inner Child telling me to come out and play.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/hi/hi2.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am getting a head start on the day because if all goes as planned, it will be a busy one. I will have to stay in today, because Thursday will be something we don't even want to think of yet.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpod1130.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am going to try and get out of my building and let my fear of falling on the snow and ice not stop me from doing what I need to do. I will just have to pray and ask for what I need to be safe, besides staying home. I haven't traveled too far with my new walker. I need to walk through the fear and do it anyway.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcsleepingdogonchair2.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will take care of my needs. Part of that is making it to my NA home group tonight. It is across the road but it is suppose to snow all day. So far it is light, so trying not to project. Stay in the moment, and accept what is.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcbearonbed2.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try to let my do what I need to do. My son says he gave me back my laundry card, so I have no excuse, not to do some. I can take my book down with my and if I don't get into a conversation with another patron, I will be able to read. Yesterday I never got a chance to read. When that happens I feel like something is missing. Even if I take my book to the bathroom with me, I get to read a few chosen words. If I remember rightly, I was always in too much of a rush to grab my book. I know, too much information.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod7.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am working on my acceptance. I didn't do a very good job of self-care today. I read until my hurt, put the book down went and got something to eat, and urned on the TV while I ate. Picked up the book, did walk about a couple of times to fill my water glass. Once in a while I would come on the computer to play Bejeweled 3. I did post the readings for today, I think that was it.

So I have to accept the fact that I had a do nothing day, and not beat myself up for doing it.

http://www.angelwinks.ca/images/smallcandle.gifhttp://www.angelwinks.ca/images/smallcandle.gifhttp://www.angelwinks.ca/images/smallcandle.gif

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod8.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will practice self-care. I have been hurting the last two days, so need to stay off my computer. Again, it is about self-acceptance of what is in the moment, knowing it is subject to change, if I take the Steps to change. I am aware of the pain, I acknowledge it instead of ignoring it or stuffing it, I have to accept my part in what triggered the pain, and I need to change my attitude in order to take action.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpod1135.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am going to try not to be Ms. Grumpy and remember to smile. I will try to go back to sleep and wake up to a new day not feeling depressed. I think it is the winter time blues. Maybe I can wake up and feel like going downtown.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qckittenmouse281.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will surrender my day to my God. Surrender doesn't mean giving up, it means giving over. Haven't been to my bed because I have been in a lot of pain. We will see what the day brings.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will turn my day over to my Higher Power. Things will unfold as they should and it is not my job to make it happen.

I need to do my part and leave the rest up to my Higher Power.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qckittenintree1.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, we are still in needing patience mode. Yesterday I had to wait for Darts, and today I will be traveling by taxi and bus. I have to go to my chiropractor's and he will need patience with me because I am about 10 days later than the day he wanted to see me.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcchickspatience.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am going to take myself out of my apartment. I am not sure if it is winter time blues, depression, or just self-care, taking it easy while on antibiotics. Enough, is enough. The sun looks like it wants to shine, so going to go and catch me some rays.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/thoughtpod/thoughtpod1026.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try to organize my day so I have time and energy to do what needs to be done. I will remember first things first, and stay in today, live in the moment, and things will unfold as they should, not as my self-centered Self would have it be.

I pray that I can stay away from the games I play, and not sit at the computer too long.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qckittyhi2.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will take care of myself. My son says it is calling for lots and lots of rain. I told him my body had told me it was coming. When the barometer changes, whether it moves up or down, my body feels the need to inform my by hurting to the bone. That means to take care of myself. Eat properly, rest, and not push myself physically.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/lovepod/lovepod8.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try to make an effort to connect with someone. I have already said hello to my neighbour and the lady who is the hostess of the Common Room for the Tenant Committee.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/gmpod/gmpod41.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will pray for patience again. Yesterday I was talking to a friend downstairs and she said, "That wouldn't work for you." She was referring to something that requires patience, and she knew I have it in short supply. I said to her, "I have more patience for others than I have for myself. Today the elevator is closed because of repairs until 3 p.m. and I hope it is earlier, not later than that. I want to go out to my chiropractor's appointment.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpod1144.gif

[dwmoeller]

Just for today, I will take a deep breath and talk to my God whenever I feel frustrated.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try to finish my postings. It is food for my soul. The day wasn't very spiritual in nature, although I did see one person from the program at the mall. It is a regular there, seldom does he miss.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/thoughtpod/thoughtpod1031.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, i will practice self-care. It is important that I make my NA home group tonight and I can't allow myself to sabotage me getting there. I feel like I have a fever and my body feels heavy, so after I get my lunch, I think I will be taking myself back to bed.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/nostalgicpod/nostalgicpod20.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will go with the flow and let life happen, instead of trying to make things happen. I will be content and allow myself to just be and do what I need to do for myself.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/lovepod/lovepod13.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for Today, I will try not to procrastinate. I will not let my pain rule my life. Just for today, I am willing to do my laundry. It isn't going to sprout wings and fly away or grow legs so it can walk to the 3rd floor itself. I will be a willing participant in my life today. I real don't dislike laundry, it is just my Fibromyalgia telling me what I can and can't do.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcbaby493.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will work on myself. I will take my focus off others and direct it to myself.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1231.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try to get to my chiropractor's office, even if I have to taxi there and back home. They are calling for rain. I knew there was a reason I hadn't looked at the weather channel for a couple of days. Checking out the guide for my new server, and decided to take a look. THEY SAY IT IS GOING TO SNOW!!!

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1232.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will practice my program to the best of my ability. I will take the day as it comes, living in the moment. Connecting to my Higher Power, and do my God's Will for me. As one guy shared Tuesday night, practice looking at yourself in a mirror and smile. It is hard to do without cracking up.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1233.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will be accepting of the weight gain, knowing that most of it is fluid that my body is retaining. I am grateful it is snowing and I need to put my feet up and get the swelling down, so I can go to my NA home group tonight. That is my priority.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/nostalgicpod/nostalgicpod27.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will practice my acceptance. Accepting that I not only feel fat, but the fact that I am fat. My body is telling me so. I can't argue, it doesn't do any good. My chiropractor says he never met anyone who was so in tune with their body. :(

I also have to accept that I shouldn't have ate the third strudel. Two was bad, but it was my lunch. The third was my justified dessert. LOL! Can't get away with denial any how! or is that "any hoo!" Doesn't matter, my stomach is complaining and I am a bit short of breath, so you know that anything that follows but is BS.

I also have to accept I am old. Even if people don't think I look my age, I have to accept that my birthday is coming up and I am not only getting older, I am old.

When I hit 65, I was no longer disabled, even though I had been on it for 15 years. Now that I am going to be 76, over 10 years more, I must be really old.

Acceptance is the key to all my problems in today.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdogintree1.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am going to try to do some exercise. It is a word that is made up of two four-letter words. I had trouble sitting up and getting out of bed. I slept for 10 1/2 hours and it felt like I never did, but I was conscious of turning over twice.

The sun is shining, so maybe I will take a walk downtown after I finish my coffee. If I can't get shes on, I will walk around my hallway a few times wearing my sandals. Lord help me to help myself.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/greetingspod/greetingspod60.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will be honest as to how I feel and where I am in my recovery. Today has been a hurting day, but I always try not to let my pain dictate my day. That means I accept it and do what I need to do to get through my day with some serenity and peace.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod30.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for Today, I will tell my disease that it belongs on the back burner. I have things to do, places to go, and don't have time for it. I woke up with no pain, and now I have a pain in my left arm, an ache in my side, a sore knee, and a pain in my neck. So I am going to do a meditation and then take a shower and get ready to go out.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qc2kittens302.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will accept my pain. I was thinking earlier, that I need to take a time out and do a meditation before I go to the chiropractors. If I don't find the acceptance, I stay stuck. Just like the keys on my computer. It is heating up, so I must close up shop and allow it to cool down.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpod1158.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will make a point of connecting to a friend., a stranger will be good too. Isolation is part of my disease. I not only block O/Ps when I shut down, I block myself from my Higher Power.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcfriendspoem2.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try to connect with family. It is good to let go of the past and live for today.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/kitten/kitten16.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will be responsible. I will put aside my wants and desires for the things I need to do for my health and well being. It always help me to help another and I hope by sharing my journey each day helps someone else along the way.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpod1161.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am setting a goal for myself. I want and need to go to the NA meeting tonight. I have missed it too many times lately because I let something else get in the way of being able to go. My feet have been swollen so badly they have prevented me from putting shoes on or I have done something that caused me to use up my energy or didn't something that was detrimental to my health. Just for today, I will set my priorities first. First thing first is my recovery. We can do what I can't do alone.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/nostalgicpod/nostalgicpod36.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am going to take care of myself. I will accept my limitations and not overdo things after my fall.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/lovepod/lovepod30.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for Today, I will try to remember what I need for my recovery. Last night I had a ride booked with Darts. The driver must have waited and drove away and didn't phone to see where I was. I was sound of sleep and didn't here anything from 4 pm until 9:30 pm, not exactly a nap. I got 3 more hours sleep this morning. Organized I am not. Yesterday I put some doctor's appointments on the calendar that I had misplaced. So glad this program is one day at a time.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/gmpod/gmpod63.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will pray for patience and tolerance. I know the two go together, I need the patience to deal with the tolerance.

https://media.giphy.com/media/912HwYeJgvB6g/giphy.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will make a point of saying "I love you" to those around me. Sometimes I think I take it for granted, and I need to take action, not just think it. Action comes after thought, even if I choose to not take action, I am coming to a decision.

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSyGyDQrMam6TMYs_EgmP1QAOv9Uc2CQ HXXSYAoRQ_TqCexf_d0

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will not beat myself up for forgetting to make sure I had the Gaither Gospel Hour set to record the show while I was away at my group. Seeing as my system is new, I lost all my saved recording that I had of them. I am sure they will be repeated in the future, but in today, I don't have the gospel songs. I am listening to Jazz instrumentals now.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/nostalgicpod/nostalgicpod42.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will build up my energy. I went to get laundry ready and I got tired before I got it out the door. I gave come to the conclusion that eating cinnamon and raisin bagels are not foods that build up your strength. So I have been doing some meditation. I woke with out any pain, so I figured it would be a good time to do laundry. Right, but couldn't get it all on my walker and out the door to go to the 3rd floor.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdog314.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try not to beat myself up some more. Haven't been to sleep since 9 pm yesterday. Coming up on 24 hours, but hope to be in bed asleep by then.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpod1170.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will keep working my program. Today it has been putting one foot in front of the other, but it didn't take me very far. I was reminded to pray for the willingness to be willing. I have a cold that won't go away. I have too big for my shoes.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod45.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will turn my day over to my God and let Him lead and guide me. Hopefully He can get me to where I need to go, because I feel like cancelling everything. Pain can be such a bummer, but I can't let it dictate my day. My right foot is paining and I don't want to stand on it, let alone walk on it.

http://www.angelwinks.ca/images/huggers8.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will pray on some patience. I am suppose to have a nurse come and bandage my feet and I don't know what time she is coming. I don't do waiting well, I think of all the things I should be doing, the key word being should. I seem to be shouding a lot lately, like I should do laundry. I want to go downtown to the mall, I am going through withdrawal.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1254.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will quiet my mind, say the Serenity Prayer and ask for what I need for my health and well being according to my God's plan for my life.

In today, I try to be God conscious instead of self-conscious.

One of my favourite pictures.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/nostalgicpod/nostalgicpod48.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will listen to my body and listen to what it says. For so many years I ignored it and did what I did any way. Sometimes it is good to put our pain aside and work through it, but we often quit, when we should take that extra step. Have hit a wall this morning, and I am having trouble concentrating, not just posting but watching curling too. I have a ringing in my ears, but no one seems to want to pick up the phone and say hello. ;)

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod49.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will practice patience with myself. Still awake, but have done some yawning, so maybe now I can find some sleep.

I had to be patient with the nurse who had lots of questions and pages of paper work to fill out.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod50.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am planning to give myself some TLC. I am not feeling up to par, even my fingers are having problems keeping up.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1259.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will make an effort to get out and connect with people. My spirit has been too isolated recently. I haven't been outside since my group on Friday and that was just across the street. I hope to go to the mall after I go to the chiropractor today. I need to get out and get in touch with Mother Earth.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/greetingspod/greetingspod84.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will remember the words, "God doesn't make no junk." As my son reminded me this morning, I am getting old and soon I will be getting older. My birthday is closing in, and I have to remember to stay in today. More importantly to me, each day is a new beginning, so I have to make the most of each day.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod54.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I won't fight and block the flow in my life. I have been listening to Country Classics while posting and I haven't had a yawn yet, I haven't been to sleep all night and all morning. It is an old habit of mine to set things aside to do what I want to do in the moment. I can see it as Self-centered and not God-centered. I am posting because I want to go to my NA meeting tonight, don't want to wait to post at 9 pm instead of 9 am.

https://media.tenor.com/images/43e40cd15de592b1b6d55fe11591d169/tenor.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am praying for some acceptance and patience. Not only with myself, but with my son also.

http://www.lovethispic.com/uploaded_images/111821-The-Best-Thing-To-Hold-Onto-In-Life-Is-Each-Other....gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will pray for patience. I have to wait for my ride to my sisters. i am waiting for the food, because she always prepares lots and it is always good. it is my birthday and i know i will get birthday hugs there.

http://www.filegenie.net/animated_gifs/easter/e178.gif

[MajestyJo]

just for today, i will try to stay balanced. I have had a great birthday as well as a good Easter. i am enjoying natural highs, and i need to stay grounded.

https://media.tenor.com/images/aff9d60056df3818a80da55d0a1a06b5/tenor.gif

[MajestyJo]

It is important for me to keep in touch with others, especially those in the program. i am hoping my feet will co-operate and get me to my group tonight seeing as i missed Friday and Sunday meetings. I notice a change in me when i don't get. The biggest flaw i see s my mouth gets too mouthy and starts to cuss.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qc2teddies430.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will give thanks for the energy I have been given to do my laundry, all four loads of it of just sheets, towels and my comforter. God is very good to me.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/greetingspod/greetingspod91.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will do what I can and leave the rest for another day. I have found myself shoulding today, shoulding here shoulding there. i need to lower my expectations of myself. I am no getting any younger. I need to stop and let my brain catch up to me.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpod1187.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I need some patience and acceptance. I have a head ache and my tremon disorder has made it difficult to type. Between the two, having trouble being myself. As the slogan says, "This too shall pass,' I hope.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qccatstaff1.jpg

[MajestyJo]

just for today, I will go with the flow. I think I will go back to bed to see if I can catch some more sleep, if not I will take myself downtown.

Made it to my group last night even though it was snowing so that is good. Recovery for me is living in the moment, practicing the program to the best of my ability, as \i try to do my God's Will each day.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/gmpod/gmpod88.jpg

[MajestyJo]

just for today, I will be accepting of what is in today. I went back to my bed three times, and that is why, this is my morning and my posts are late. it doesn't look like one of my better days, but I am aiming toward making it to my NA meeting tonight.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcbunnies435.jpg

[MajestyJo]

just for today, I will look at what I do have and not compare by looking at what I don't have. Each day is a new beginning. It is what I make it, so I shouldn't wish my life away.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcangel436.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I need to be mindful of my energy as I want to go to the NA meeting tonight. My son took my library books back and if i do laundry, I sit and read my book while clothes are washing and drying. if i have the energy to get the bags on my walker and down to the laundry room, I should be good to go.

I bought some Ginseng to see if it will help me. I just took a pill two days ago. I think I will take one today and see what happens. The pharmacist told me to be mindful of my blood pressure.

i think the 7th Step prayer is what I need, my God's will for me. Life is good when we work through the fear.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1273.jpghttp://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1273.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, which isn't far from being over, makes it hard to figure out what I need for the day when I slept most of it away. I guess it is more acceptance needed. My feet and my legs below the knee were paining and kept me up last night, then when I wanted to sleep, i got 3 phone calls and didn't make it into bed until 11:30 a.m.

First of all I can't beat myself up, but perhaps I should give myself a good talking to or getting my 24 hours out of the wrong portion of the day. I know a day can start any time and i have applied this many times to my life over the years, but if i am honest, a lot of it is often self justification. I already feel like going back to bed, so maybe there is hope for me yet. I am sure my Higher Power will get me back to where I AM SUPPOSE TO BE. PERHAPS, I AM JUST WHERE I AM SUPPOSE TO BE.

Sorry for the yelling, I am having problems with my keyboard.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpods.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will take care of myself. I am very tired and practically falling asleep on the job, but I want to finish posting what i can. Not many words of wisdom today, my brain feels fogged up. it could be Fibro fog or just the fact I have only had about 3 hours sleep. When I post late, I feel guilty.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdog339.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will not let anything get in the way of me making it to my home group tonight. The fact that I am awake now means means that I have to find some rest and sleep before 7 pm.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1276.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, i am working on my patience and tolerance. It doesn't go well when I can't do what I use to do and it bothers me when I can't meet my expectations. I had so looked forward to going to my group, going to the library, and doing laundry and I did't get to do any of it. Not just yesterday but for most of the week. We are suppose to get more rain again today.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qckitteninwickerbasket1.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will continue to ask for patience and tolerance with myself, who has been in bed for two days, and with my son. I am having problems posting, my hands are doing strange things. Oh how I would love to be with Woodstock on a Tropical Island.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/kidpod/kidpod1082.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will listen to my body and give it the time it needs. I had a 2 pm appointment, but was asked to come in 15 min, early. Darts picked me up just before 1 pm and I got home at 4:50 pm. Have to finish up and take my body back to bed because it didn't get enough sleep.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcanwavingkitty1.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am a bit stressed. My computer is doing strange things and what it doesn't do my hand cause me trouble with double letters, no shift key, and then there is me the operator. I need some patience and tolerance. I had to try 3 times to sign. I am trying to think through the pain.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qclotsofbears.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, my prayer for patience and tolerance worked for me. i played with a person I didn't know and played against people who have played bridge for years. I am hoping to go again tomorrow.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qckittenonfence1.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, i accept what is in today and ask for nothing more, nothing less, I can't wish my life away. What was important, happened. i made it over to my NA home group and chaired the meeting. I didn't get to play bridge. If I had forced myself to go to bridge, I know I wouldn't have made it to my group. I couldn't stay out of bed today. It was get up, go back to bed, get up and go back to bed. I had to set the alarm in case I didn't wake up in time to go. The alarm woke me up after 8 hours of sleep.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod14.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, working on having some patience with myself. Here I am posting 12 hours after I started posting last night after my meeting. I was very hyper after chairing the meeting, and I couldn't sleep. i hope I can now.

http://www.angelwinks.ca/images/lordhelpme.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try to change my attitude. The last few days it is "I don't want to go to bed" or "I don't want to leave my bed." The problem is that I have been sleeping the day away. So I need to turn my sleeping habits over to my God again!

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c8/02/69/c80269b6c0528943877c579f6467199b.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, it is not up to me to reason why or justify, I have had no sleep and i need to find myself some. It is my fault that i didn't want to put the book down, it is not the fault of the fault of the nurse, Meals on Wheels, or the physiotherapist who came by.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdog450.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try to put some self-care into my regime and get some healthy sleep, hopefully not an hour here and an hour there. I phoned Darts and cancelled my ride for tonight, two days and nights without sleep is not good. I will turn things over to my God and do a meditation. I have already lit a candle.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcflowers451.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, i will try to not isolate. I will take a walk in my hall, if I can't get out. I will try to exercise my mind, and I will try to talk to someone beside my son.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcanteddy452.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am trying to persevere and get my posting done. i haven't hurt like this for a while, and wondering how come, when I haven't done much more than going down to the pharmacy twice today.

i reached out to my friend, but it seems to be a rough time for both of us. She gets a lot less sleep than I do.

All I can do is turn each day over to my God, and allow Him to direct my path.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcbears453.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will stay focused and do what I need to do. I finished snacking, and now I can give my keyboard my full attention. It doesn't matter that I have ben to the site twice before, I am not finished doing what I need to do. I can't lie down on the job.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdogcurlersoncouch.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am working on doing what makes me happy. I got almost all my laundry done, except for the bedding on my bed. Hope to do it later, but I can't see it happening before tomorrow.

I am taking myself out for dinner. That makes me happy. She is making Shepherds Pie with dessert and juice for $5. I hope it is good, it is one of my favourite meals.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdog355.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I hope to wash some bedding. I might try and take it down when i finish posting. It would be nice to ride the energy while I got it, that is if I didn't use it all up yesterday. When I think that word, I think, "But this is a new day." Just trying to save positive. I have pain around my heart, so hoping it will go away. Maybe I will have to do the laundry later.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1292.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will listen to my body. It is already acting up, having some pain in my neck and I'm aching all over, probably as a result of my busy day yesterday. I will apply the slogan, "Easy does it...but do it."

http://angelwinks.ca/images/gmpod/gmpod20.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for Today, I will try to get a better perspective on my day. I have two appointments, one to the foot clinic and the second to see my family doctor. I will do whatever it takes to make it to these appointments.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qc2puppiesonlog2.jpg

[MajestyJo]

just for today, i will practice patience and tolerance. i got to the foot clinic early. Was glad i brought my book. i had hopes of being home by 11 am and it was almost a half hour past that. Thankfully Meals on Wheels didn't shoe up until almost noon. I went down to the pharmacy to get bagels and got more.

Darts is picking me up to go to take me to my doctor's appointment. The pick up time is 3:30 pm so the could shoe up between 3:15 and 3:45, which is still early for my 4:30 appointment. I was going to lie down, but my feet are really hurting. Not sure I would sleep, thre is a lot of banging and drilling going on over and above the fire alarm.

Just for today, I will pray and ask for help. Storms do a number on my body, so will treat it with TLC.

Just for today, I will stay in the moment and take the day as it comes. My lights didn't go out, but my cable TV, phone and computer did. I still haven't got my TV back but thankfully I can call my server and get help. I put posting first, I don't need the TV/

http://angelwinks.ca/images/lovepod/lovepod83.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am going to try to lift my spirits up. It has been a down day and my feet are badly swollen so not very mobile. It is raining again after all our sunshine. It has been a down day, no TV or internet until just after 4:30 pm. I did have my nose in a book, I am reading Hunted by James Patterson. I thought I had read it, but each page has been new and I haven't wanted to put the book down.

F.R.O.G. FULLY, RELYING ON GOD.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcfrog463.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am going to wait on my God to see what He would have me do. I thought of calling the server for my TV and got side tracked with my VON nurse and Meals on Wheels, who came as the other was leaving. I had the thought of taking my blood sugar but forgot until after my social worker's assistant called. I have two appointments for tomorrow. Waiting for a call back.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/kidpod/kidpod1103.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I hope get my bedding done. i say I am and don't do it. The sun is shining and I want to go outside and get some exercise. Will see who wins, or maybe we can get lucky and do both. Laundry is a priority. They are doing fire alarm testing, tempted to leave the building.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1090.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will not beat myself up. Even I can see, for me to have slept so long, I must have needed it. I went to sleep in my chair around midnight and woke up just after 7 a.m. and went back to bed about 9 p.m. and got woken up at 11:30 a.m. and went back to bed at noon and woke up at 4:45 p.m. and it took me a half hour to get out of my bed. I am doing my posting instead of going back to bed.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdaisy367.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today I feel kind of down in the dumps. My foot is aching, I haven't had much sleep, and i am waiting for my dinner to arrive so I can get some sleep this afternoon. i don't want to be like a shrew and a harpy. I want to be positive and make it to the meeting whether my feet are swollen or not. i have always liked this picture, maybe because I didn't have any, but they are beginning to show and I need to accept them and not worry about them and let my vanity and pride get in the way.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcwrinkleddogbath2.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am grateful that I have a program. I WILL use that program to the best of my ability, which isn't very much today. My tremon is bad and I am having problems typing without an error. One of these days, I am going to leave all the error in so you can see what I am talking about. ;)

I woke up with a headache and now it is close to a migraine, although I don't want to say the word too loud in case it hears me. I think I need to go and handle it with a meditation.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpod1043.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will not let my pain rob me of posting and doing what is near and dear to my heart.

It has been a rough two hours but getting there.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcbabypuppies270.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am going to try to just be, play some catch up and relax. My body is telling me that rain is coming and the weather man said the same thing. I allowed my pain to keep me from what I need to do. The rain hasn't got here yet.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1095.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will listen to my body. not sure of the cause, but have a pain on my left side on top of the hip bone. I need to take a break and do a meditation to see what is going on. i will ask my Higher Power for the healing I need. My physio therapist is coming soon and I want to know before I tell her about it.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qc2bears272.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will do what I need to do to get to my chiropractor's appointment. I am going to lay down and see if I can catch some Zzzzzs before 2 pm, which will give me time to get ready and call a taxi if need be. I don't know if I will b mobile enough to take the three buses to get to my appointment. I will still need to walk two blocks and not sure my back will let me. More will be revealed.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdogwflowersnbird2.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will ask for patience and tolerance with myself. My son woke me up this morning and I had only 3 1/2 hours sleep. I am having problems with my computer and I have to be patient and accepting of the fact that it just may be on it's last legs. Maybe if I talk to it nicely, it will perform better.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdog474.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will let go of things that no longer serve me. Even things in recovery need to change, that was then, this is now. To carry things into tomorrow, only hurts me.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qctweetywflower2.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will forgive myself. I had to quit posting because my nurse came, and I felt so good, I went back to bed. I slept for 6 hours, being on the computer too late means i have to come off and sit with my feet up. Being on the ccomputer I se as getting out of self and pain and hopefully by sharing, I help somone else.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/gnpod/gnpod29.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am trying to stay in the moment and check my emotions at the door. Really hurting and angry at myself and thinking what didn't you hear the first time. There must be a message here somewhere. My son says I belong in a home.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/kidpod/kidpod1117.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will practice my patience with myself. My body is not functioning normally. I have a lot of numbness and shooting pain, doesn't seem right if I am numb, now come I feel the pain.

They said I didn't have cracked ribs at the hospital, but they must be badly bruised, yet there is nothing showing externally. So glad this day starts again in 75 min.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpod1053.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will be generous with my time. I won't be greedy and take without giving. My son made cookies, I will make a point of telling him that I enjoyed them.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdogncat3.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am going to continue to look after myself. I am so looking forward to my appointment at the Holistic Center. They will be able to work on my legs, feet, and neck.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/lovepod/lovepod9.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will practice patience and tolerance. I can't get into my apartment until after 2 p.m. so now I can leave the internet cafe and go and confirm with my chiropractor appointment for 3. Have to conserve my energy for my NA group tonight at 7 p.m.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animal/animal13.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try to stay centered, and give thanks for the honour of speaking at an AA group tomorrow morning. My long time friend called me this morning to say that she hadn't been able to find a speaker. I told her if she was ever stuck, I would be back up for her. Today my big mouth will have to step and deliver her promise. I haven't shared my story in a long time. The challenge is the fact the meeting starts at 10:30 a.m. and as you all know, I don't do mornings well.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcgarcoffee1.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will practice honesty. I spoke at an AA meeting this morning and I had to get honest. It was good that I was asked seeing as I am coming upon my 27 years celebration. Lately, I have been thinking, God willing. I also had to practice some acceptance, and I stood up front holding myself up with my cane, with both feet bandaged. As I shared this morning, go to a meeting, and you will find out that your not so bad, there is always someone else worse off than you are.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1108.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will take care of myself. I am going to go back to bed and catch you all later.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdogwthinkingofyousign1.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will share with others. I made it to a NA meeting tonight and asked, "Did you miss me?" I felt guilty for being away so long. Apparently two of the members had just discussed my absence wondering where I had gotten to.

Last week when I wanted to go, I found out that Darts had put my rides on hold. I had to phone in and get the schedule reinstated. I still have been given an okay for Sunday. I had cancelled the rides after my fall, even tonight when the driver hit some bumps, not too carefully, my ribs and back hurt. So again it is acceptance of what is and do what you can with what you are given.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qckittyhi2.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will pray for patience and tolerance. I keep looking at the clock and the hands aren't moving fast enough. I don't do mornings well, and today I got up at >7:30 a.m. zo you know why I am praying. I have an appointment at 3 p.m. and then I can come home and crash.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/gnpod/gnpod40.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am going to practice self care. I have a headache that is trying to tell me it is a migraine, and I am ignoring it. I don't think I will be going outside, but I think I will look for the bed I missed out on last night by sleeping in my chair.

This card gives a great message. Mine feels like it is gounded.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/greetingspod/greetingspod55.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I have some acceptance as to what is and not defying the advice I got from the Doctor at the foot clinic yesterday. I was told to stay off my feet, and so far, got myself a donut (defiant against the food guide for diabetics), a bagel and three glasses of water. So for today, I am planning to eat healthy and stay off my poor feet. I need to allow them time to heal. I want to go to the $1. Store but going to stay home. just for today, I will not feed the addict in me who always wants more.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcgirl490.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will continue to allow my body to heal. I had lots of sleep last night but laid down at 3 pm for a nap and woke up at 9 pm. I had to phone Darts to make an amend for missing my ride to the NA meeting tonight. They put my rides on hold for Sunday and Tuesday nights and I reinstated them, and then I ended up a no show.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qc2polarbearstogetherforever1.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will listen to my body. my legs have been going numb and my right foot is paining. The sore that has been treated by VON just isn't healing inside, so that means the feet still have to be kept up and going downtown is not a good thing.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qckitten394.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will be responsible. I won't let this do nothing day end without me meeting my responsibilities. There is no has to, there is just want to. Without posting, my day feels less than.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/nostalgicpod/nostalgicpod124.jpg

[dwmoeller]

Just for today, I will choose life by choosing recovery. I will take care of myself. Just for today!

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will do service. I will live God Centered instead of Self-Centered. I made a point of going to my group tonight. I missed last week and I felt badly. I was blessed by greeting newcomers to our group.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcppine296.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I choose to go with the flow. That is for the rest of my day, I slept the day away. I went back to bed at 8:30 am after falling asleep in my chair for gosh only know how long. Went back to bed after a pit stop at 10:30 am and 3 pm, and woke up to get up at 8:30 pm. i would say I messed up my day, hope the night goes by better

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcpainterbear1.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, my goal is to get to the NA meeting tonight. The sun is shining and I would like to walk to the mall, but that may be pushing it.

I woke up at 7 am and already feel like going back to my bed. I just try to listen to my body and do what I can do in the moment.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpod1072.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will take it as it comes. I have to go to the pharmacy to pick up my weekly meds and my bagels.

The rest is up for grabs. The way I feel in the moment, I am heading back to bed.

https://media.giphy.com/media/fvkhp61m31m48/giphy.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will take first things first. My goal for today is to go to my Tuesday night NA meeting. If it stays sunny, I may try going to the mall to get some exercise. I woke up with cramping in my hips and thighs, so may just end up walking down to the pharmacy to return last week's docette, and be happy with that.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1124.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I ask for forgiveness in my tardy posting today. I didn't sleep, I picked up a book that I couldn't put down. I eventually had, so I might as well as done it in the first place. Look at all the Is posted, self-will run riot. I was also not in the mood to fight with my computer.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qc2kittens302.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will trust the process. Tonight I asked the chair person if we could have a discussion on change and asked if he could find a reading on the topic. It turned out that the reading for today in the NA Just for Today meditation book was on 'resistance to change.' and we also read a portion of Tradition One. For me it is without you,, there is no me.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qc2sleepingkittens2.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will practice patience and tolerance. My computer is heating up again. i will have to log off and come back again.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcteddy404.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will stay in the moment and let the unfold as it is, not how I want it to be. I have been awake since 8 p.m. yesterday, so need to find some sleep. I will try not to force solutions.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/kidpod/kidpod1144.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will put some gratitude in my attitude. I have a chiropracctor's appointment. if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be walking. He has also helped me to maintain a measure of sanity and has helped me with my headaches. it is suppose to storm big time, so hope to get there, go to the library and the bank and home before it rains, so i need some acceptance and patience too.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcbabywcat306.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will continue to work on my patience and tolerance. I took all the books that i hadn't read from a new author to me after I had picked up some other books that looked interesting. A little of that patience and tolerance has to go to myself, not just with other things.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcbutterfly307.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will not be judgmental. They say, "Judge not, less you be judged." Today I was judging myself because I woke up and thought it was Friday, got dressed, crossed the street, went up and knocked on the door because it was locked. it was 10 to 7, so I thought one of the members was inside and forgot to open the door. Went down and knocked on the door of the custodians only to find out it was Thursday, not Friday. I set the alarm when I came home from the foot clinic, so I could sleep and not miss the meeting. A definite JoAnne thing, but others said they have done it too. When i was leaving, the woman who came to me and asked me to open my Group Freedom of Recovery was going in as i was coming out. Had a little meeting with her. I phoned a good friend and had a talk with her before I started posting tonight. When you get honest, good things happen.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/nostalgicpod/nostalgicpod14.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for Today, i will work through my pain. I will acknowledge and accept it, knowing what it is from, and ask what I need to get through it. i need to love myself. I can't let my pain rule my life. I can't take things that block it and submerge it into that inky blackness of addiction. i have to feel it in order to let it go.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpod1084.gif

[MajestyJo]

just for today, I ask for patience and tolerance. I have had to reboot twice and close down and window twice and bring up a new one.

i have to shut off my computer again; it is so hot, even my desk is warm around it. This time it will have to cool off for more than an hour.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalpod/generalpod1135.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try to stay in the moment and be accepting of what is, be it gun shots and sirens, I will be grateful that I am safe in my apartment. Had a big sleep, not a nap, so grateful for it and try not to lament me missing my NA meeting.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qckittenasleeponbench.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will be responsible. I have a couple of phone calls that I need to make. have papers to take down to the pharmacy when i pick up my medications for the week.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcangelstars1.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will give myself some love. I am worthy and find myself lacking. Really looking forward to the NA meeting tonight. i know I will get a hug or two there.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qc2bearsonswing2.jpg

[MajestyJo]

just for today, I will think happy thoughts. I slept most of the day away, but I did manage to get my posting done, even though it is late. one day at a time.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qchappythoughtspup.jpg

[MajestyJo]

just for today, I am praying for honesty and courage. i have some personal issues to talk to my social worker about.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcfairy317.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for Today, I pray for health and well being. Ir is very hot and humid out and i had to cancel Darts and stay home. My foot doctor said to stay off of it, so I guess I should listen and learn to do what I am told. :)

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qckittewapple1.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will tyr to listen harder. my dfoot doctor told me to stay off my feet, so my wounds would hill. Then she said that the wounds on my right foot were healed. Well I felt like I had to get out and I had to find a store that had butter. When I got home, the foot that was so healed, felt like it was bleeding. I walked downtown and back because it was a holiday Monday and buses that would take me close to my home, runs every hour.

The nice thing was that I was standing in line and my son said I was next. The guy at the other lineup put his stuff down and said put her item on my bill, because I am butting in front of her, so I wwill pay for her butter. This was at a variety store, my son went and got it because my feet were sore and I moved slow. I wwas afraid to ask how muh it was. and it ended up costing me nothing. i still don't know.

Didn't get this posted this morning, better late than never. it isn't morning, but perhaps it is morning somewhere. Let's pretend. let us start the day over and for the next 24 hours we will stay clean and sober.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/gmpod/gmpod83.jpg

[MajestyJo]

just for today, i will listen for my God's Will. i turned my day over and what ever will be will be.

I need to remember that this works both ways.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcgrumpycat1.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try to meet my commitments. I have a chiropractor's appointment today and I have to call Darts to get a ride for net week. I am hoping by writing them here, I will remember them.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdogworangeflowers2.jpg

[MajestyJo]

just for Today, i will re,omd myself that I have a choice, to live in my disease or live in today, not pick up no matter what. needing to find some self-acceptance. I phoned Darts yesterday and there were 14 callers a head of me. set the receiver down, finished posting and went to bed and slept for almost 10 hours. I forgot about my phone until I noticed the receiver on my desk asking it, 'What are you doing there? Of course it said, 'Why you put me here!!

http://angelwinks.ca/images/gmpod/gmpod86.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for Today, I am going to be mindful of my time and energy. i have to go to my chiropractor's appointment and I need to go grocery shopping; but my main priority is my NA group tonight at 7 p.m. The other day I bought Korean Red Ginseng The pharmacist told me to mindful of my blood pressure; so we will see. It is to relieve stress and fatigue. not worried about stress, but really concerned about my fatigue. maybe a little stress, I keep forgetting things.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcmousewflowers1.jpg

[MajestyJo]

just for today, I will smile and accept things as they come my way. Instead pf getting angry at my computer or at it's operator, we will just accept things as they come.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/greetingspod/greetingspod92.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for Today, I will try to stay positive. I will try to stay in today. If God leads you to it, He will see you through it.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/lovepod/lovepod54.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for Today, i will listen to the messages that come to me. The message so far this morning is about God's Will for my path. I have also had the thought to call my friend to see if she wants to run away from home with me.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpod1101.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today and tomorrow too, I will have to pull out some spiritual principles to deal with others and especially working my program on me. It isn't about others, it is about me and my attitude.

http://angelwinks.net/images/kidpod/kidpod1051.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today,I will relax and allow myself to have fun. There is a couple of camp out coming up in August, one in AA and one in NA. my body doesn't do camping these days, I can have fun in others ways. I just have to accept what is in today and have fun anyway. As the saying goes, we can have as much fun as we give ourselves permission to have. I keep meaning to find that park bench and sit and enjoy the great out doors, or just enjoy some quiet if I am lucky and I can bring my book.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qc2teddiescamping.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will allow my body to rest. i will recognize that it went through some trauma yesterday, and I will give it time to heal. That doesn't mean I won't try ti walk downtown, as my mental state is anxious to return my overdue book.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/nostalgicpod/nostalgicpod36.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, i will try to not be so hard on myself. I wanted to go to my bed, but wanted to be responsible and take my overdue books back. i apologized for them being late, I had been in the hospital and then recouping from being there and he waived my fees, all $1.25. I thought it would be about $3-5., so I was pleased and surprised.I took 3 books back and one was an express book. The sad thing was, only read one of them.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/nostalgicpod/nostalgicpod37.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for Today, I am hoping to set some time aside to catch up on my reading. It gets left behind when tennis is on.

My goal for today is to get to the NA meeting tonight. I can always take my book for when I am waiting for Darts.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qccats333.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will try for patience and tolerance with myself. With all the times I have prayed for this, I remind myself it is one day at a time. Each day is a new beginning. it isn't what I did in the past that matters it is how I live in today.

had a big sleep this afternoon and want more sleep in the moment. This is all bcause I chose not to sleep last night, but to sit up and read. The sad new is that I have 3 more books by the same author.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcmanysmiles2.jpg

[MajestyJo]

just for today and tomorrow too, looking for acceptance of what is, not as I would have it be. Accepting of my limitations and stop being so hard on myself.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/gmpod/gmpod.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I wish health, happiness, and prosperity. They say pray and ask for them, what you would like for yourself. I wonder if they would like some acceptance, patience, tolerance, etc.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qckitten337.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will pray for patience and tolerance. i know that according to the program, anything that annoys me, is a reflection of what is within me. Tonight I felt someone was intruding in my space, so as they say, it take one to know one. God and I still have a lot of work to do.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdognkittens1.jpg

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I am wishing for a life, not wishing it a way. Don't like sleeping so much, feel like my life was passing me by. Slept for 13 hours, which is ridicules for someone who hardly ever sleeps. Even if I do need it, it iss too much.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcbikerdog1.jpg

[MajestyJo]

just for today, I m trying to accept the tolerance that was bestowed on my as a result of the patience I prayed and asked for patience and tolerance, and what do I do? I woke up at 4.30 p.m. today instead of the 5 p.m. of yesterday. Yesterday I took 30 minutes to hry out of bed, today, it only took 20, so I guess I should look at it as improvement.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qccat340.jpg

[MajestyJo]

D is for Denial. I have been known to say that I am the Queen of De-ni-al. I am grateful for the program. it has a way of taking those walls down or makes them transparent.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animatedpod/animatedpod1042.gif

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I ask for the healing I need and pray that my son reaches out and gets what he needs.

i feel like a load has been lifted, but just living in the moment, in the day and I know the Good Orderly Direction will be there.

[MajestyJo]

jusst for today, I need to stay off my computer and do a TV marathon to catch up on my recorded cooking shows.

Had a 5 hour nap to rejuvenate and have been on the computer for 3 hours and now I am going back to Facebook.

Here I am into Thursday and I feel like I am still in Tuesday.

Just for today, I will be open to the love and support of the fellowship. I will be willing to receive what I need for my recovery. A word that came to mind today was balance.

Just for today, I will ask for the energy to do what I need to do for myself today. Mother Hubbard's kitchen is bare. I got woke up and had an early start to the day by my standards, now I am feeling like going back to my bed. Perhaps it is okay to do that and recharge and go shopping this afternoon. This is one great big care bear.

Just for today, I will remember that my God will do for me what I can't do for myself. not having a good day. Have wanted to quit, but kept plodding along. I keep hearing, you made the commitment, you are responsible. So we are trying, and doing the best we can. Maybe one day I will believe it every day.

Just trying to be in the moment and do the nest right thing so I can make it to my chiropractor's appointment. Have been having headaches so really need to go, not ignore the pain like I normally do.

Just for today, I am going to make a point of connecting with people. I should have done it yesterday. Today I had a sneezing fit and my nose wants to run off my face, so it will have to be by phone, not one on one. If things don't improve, might not make it to my Tuesday group. my newcomer who I took there has a bus pass to get there on her own. She chose to come home on her own last week, instead of leaving early with me on DARTS. That is good.

Just for today, I pray for some patience and tolerance. I slept all day and have to find some sleep before I have to leave today. My place is being sprayed,and I have to leave for several hours. I do need to go to the library and the pharmacy to return my docette (something I should have done yesterday, but because I slept the day away, it didn't happen). I need to get done what I need to get done, just for today.

just for today, still working on patience and tolerance. Opened my mouth and was told I shouldn't have when I tried to set a boundary.

Just for today, I will try to live through only this day. I will not try to tackle all of my problems at once.

[MajestyJo]

just for today, maybe because I started the day late, it has been a very good day. I think I I am still on acceptance. We read Self-Acceptance pamphlet at my group tonight. I thought, maybe Someone is sending you a big Hint. So you put on weight, it is your bagels, quit with the denial. Get over it already!!! Do something about it.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I need to be productive and do some laundry. I think I have some bagels being saved at the pharmacy if she hasn't given up me. Instead of procrastinating, I will try to get busy and do. After last night's posting, I should be topped up and overflowing.

Just for today, I will continue to work on my patience. I opened my mouth on the elevator and told a gentleman who reeked of alcohol, that I wasn't appreciative of his actions. The elevator went down to the basement, and the up button was pushed, and he proceeded to justify his actions, and I saw myself.

Hust for today, I have practiced being cordial and I think I will continue doing so.
The thunder started for the storm, so going to politely say goodbye.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, trying to practice my patience and stay in the moment. i had thought of going to my AA meeting, but they have not arrived yet, so it is too late to go. Guess that means I can give in and rest my body which is geatting tired and sore, and like down on my bed to see if it needs sleep as well as rest. I would like to finish my express book. So it is also patience with myself as well as with others.

Just for today, I will exercise my soul in 3 ways:

1. I will do somebody a good turn, and not get found out. If anybody knows of it, it won't count.

2. I will do at least 2 things I don't want to do -- just for exercise.

3. I will not show anyone that my feelings ar hurt, they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will be open and share were I am at in today and open to receive the message my God would have me learn at my group tonight. I will not put up any walls and be myself and will be open to sharing what I have learned on my journey of recovery.

Sorry, computer problems stopped me from posting this earlier.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will do a 10th Step. I will inventory my day by what I did do, rather than focus on what I didn't do. I slept, even though it was a big sleep. I ate the dinner my son cooked for me. First full meal since Wednesday. I made tea biscuits at my son's suggestion. There was just enough milk. I sat down and had 2 with Maple Syrup. Have been trying to catch up on my water, on my 5th glass. I have taken breaks and still have time to finish if I am lucky.

I will remember to give thanks at the end of my day.

Just for today I will try to concentrate and keep doing what I need to do in the moment. So far I gave done some posting, quit so my frustration would develop into something more. Set my alarm to get up and put a small roast of beef in the oven, peeled potatoes and added them to the roast. All is seasoned up and should be ready in less than an hour.

I had some whoops, dropping my cup and dumping the water all over the floor. I couldn't find a mop or a broom. I am sure they are around somewhere. I had a couple of my tea biscuits with honey to tide me over until the food is cooked. I had some crumbs I couldn't clean up. I am sure he will turn up sometime.

Just for today, I will apologize for being so late. My book kept calling me and I wouldn't give in and go to bed until 2 p.m. Even though I would nod off, I would sit up and try again. My dad said it was contrariness. I was told my son inherited it along with my first husban's stubbornness. There were always excuses.

Just for today, I will choose life and stay sober. I chose recovery!

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will accept where I am at. I was feeling down because I had a situation that was tiring. and I am grateful for the people who helped me along the way. Some of them were strangers and others who are long time friends. I inspired me today, to just keep plugging away. I am going with my friend Bert to help him celebrate 35 years sober.

Love it Dave. Thanks for sharing. Totally awesome.

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, i WILL PRACTICE PATIENCE AND TOLERANCE. It is not my computer's fault that I have to edit each post about 10 times, even though a lot of the keys have no letters printed on the any more. It is not my computer's fault that I speak in what looks like a foreign language or a forked tongue if you would. It isn't my computer's fault, that I have multiple letters, or no number at all. It is me.

When I concentrate I only make an error or two, MAYBE none at all.It often looks good, and it is a word in the dictionary's book, but not in mine. Sometimes the computer doesn't know if I mean there or their. The computer doesn't know that my hands are shaking more than usual although it should know by now. What it (beginning to thing of it as him) doesn't know that I woke up tonight with a twitch in my body that gets worse instead of better. I have to delete whole words, not just a letter. He should know that I think I know how to type without looking at the keyboard, but when I look from the screen I hCW Hs my dinfwea on rhw qeonf kwya oe in xPIROL LWRRWEA. Translation: I have my fingers on the wrong keys or on the capitol letters. Note: That should be capital. It looks like we both don't know. See I typed those two lines with only one error.
Please have patience with me and my computer/see we end it all with a typing earror. My butterfly has become an alien being.
