Just for today, I will give thanks for the gift of creation. Coming home from the doctors, I made a point of touching spruce and jasper trees and looking at the flowers, violets, pansies, tulips, daffodils, and so much more. The most prevalent was dandelions. For me they are special. My son was two when he brought me a bouquet of them with many broken stems. I also love their sunshine yellow flowers.

Just for today, I will push through the pain and do what I need to do. I will take my time and remember "Easy Does It...but do it!" I am a hurting unit today, but it was good to get out in the sunshine, walk around and not sit in my four walls on the pity pot. The sunshine is healing and it is important not to isolate my soul.

Just for today, I will love not hate that the rain turned into snow. It is hard to believe, I looked out the window an hour ago and everything was clear outside even though it was windy. I know we need rain, especially in the western provinces, but snow is a bit much. Just for today, I will say, "This is for the Higher Good of all, and it isn't all about me." This looks like my first puppy and he was called Rusty.

Just for today, I will practice self-care. My hands and fingers are numb, and I am aching all over as a result of my trip to the mall. I needed to take a book back that was due, so had to be responsible. I came on line fighting the fact that I felt like lying down, didn't want to spoil my sleep tonight, but have come to the conclusion, that it is best I take a time out and rest, and then I will hopefully feel more like posting later.

Just for today, I will forgive myself for not coming on line earlier and not posting. Last night I was running a fever and haven't been feeling up to par. I only had my TV on for about 2 hours all day, to watch The Voice result show and Jeopardy. I know I always feel better as a result of being here, but the body just couldn't get up and rise to the occasion.

I just wanted to add a thought re: HALT. I have always thought that "S" should be added to the end of it! HALTS=Hungry-Angry-Lonely-Tired-Sick. When I am sick it can really play hell with my life the same as the other things do and I have to pay attention to that too! Just wanted to mention that before I forget!!!-----Bunnypie

Just for today, I will choose sobriety. I will enjoy the moment, even if it is just doing dishes, cooking dinner, and taking a walk to the Pharmacy. I put garbage down the chute and heard my friend Barb talking at the elevator and went to say hello. She saw the dark bruise on my arm and asked what happened to me. I said I fell into a wall, not sure really what it was, I have been losing my balance a lot lately. She saw my son come in the building and asked him if he had seen my arm and did he cause it. He said she tries to be funny, but it wasn't, especially when people are around. I have three medications that say "May cause dizziness." So I guess I am just a ditz!

I hate to bruised. It looks so angry and ugly. I had almost a foot long bruise when they surgically implanted the chemo port. I would be in distress and cry to so the dark ugly colors. They have finally gone away and my skin is all one color. I know what you mean about getting dizzy. I get up in the middle of the night and don't want to turn on the light cause I know the way to the bathroom and I will get dizzy and confused. I have to swallow my pride and turn the light on. It is not an "Ah-Ha" moment more like an "Oh-Sh*t" moment. I have to get honest and admit that I do need to have the light on-----Bunnypie

Just for today, I will trust in my Higher Power to see me through each day. He meets my needs, yet I must remember to pick them up. They are there, I just have to be open to receive.

YES! I have to take steps to get my needs taken care of. You are right about that. If I need to eat but don't want to eat I have to force myself to eat or else drink a Boost or Ensure to take care of my hunger. Needs have to be taken care of!!!! Thanks for reminding me of that......

Just for today, I will enjoy the bountiful gifts of nature. I will make a conscious effort to connect and apprecate the Creators many blessings. These are beautiful and it is nice to fill up your space with good things, but like to seem them in their natural state.

Spring is a great time of year. Green grass, flowers, trees with leaves. I really appreciate it after a long cold barren winter!!!!

Just for today, I will accept what is. I have been in a lot of pain today. As they say, "We are where me are as a result of decisions made." I made the decision to wear a pair of black flats instead of my orthonics. No support, like walking on the sidewalk with cardboard soles Ouch.

Oh Jo!!!----just a little thing like that can make a difference! It was almost 80 degrees today and I usually wear closed in slide on shoes but I wore sandals today to let my feet breathe and now my feet are tender and sore. I understand completely!!! One little thing can throw everything off. My feet are hot and burning now. -------Bummed Out Bunnypie
