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.

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

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/animated...tedpod1101.gif

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

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

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/nostalgi...algicpod36.jpg

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/nostalgi...algicpod37.jpg

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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/animated...tedpod1042.gif

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.

https://i.pinimg.com/736x/a2/80/7c/a...ugs-eeyore.jpg

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.

https://78.media.tumblr.com/8c885712...prz5o1_400.gif

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcteddy445.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/kidpod/kidpod1185.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/lovepod/lovepod75.gif

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.

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

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcbutterflies449.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcflowers350.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdol...kingchair1.jpg

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcbluebirdsnbath1.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animated...tedpod1058.gif

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.

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

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.

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animated...tedpod1060.gif

Sorry, computer problems stopped me from posting this earlier.

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcladybugs360.jpg

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.

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

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/kidpod/kidpod1201.jpg

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

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animated...tedpod1065.gif

Love it Dave. Thanks for sharing. Totally awesome.

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.
