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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

Patience with the telephone repairman to tell them it is their product, not something I did.
. I will be back looking for Lin and others.
