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 aI 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.

Just for today, I will practice accepting of what is in the moment. Living with a bunch of fellow seniors can be challenging. It makes me sad that all the pictures that I have posted are no more. The site is closed.  |

Just for today, I will not be so hard on myself. It is nice to type on a computer that types all letters and numbers except a sticky t and y. Patience is the name of the game.  |

Just for today, I will do what is best for my recovery. I will work the program and apply the principles to my life.  |

Just for today, I will show my gratitude for the gifts of today. Some may find them small, but to me they are big things. Like my visit from my friend Matt.  |

Just for today, I will continue to work on my patience and tolerance. I was told to talk to my doctor (who is in Europe with her son) a substitute told me to tell my nurse my problem and shut the door on me. So grateful for this program.  |

Just for today, I need to put some gratitude into my attitude and say, "...but for the grace of God, there go I." A gentleman has dementia, at least that is what I think is what is wrong with him. I always say, there is no excuse for rudeness. He gives new meaning to the words.  |

Just for today, I will work my program to the best of my ability. I will remember, let it begin with me. It isn't about the other person, it is about me and MY recovery.  |

Just for today, I will put some gratitude into my attitude. I will remember "Let it begin wih me." I not only need to express it but show it. My God has been very good to me.  |

Just for today, I will try to get things organized. I don't do organized well. It is the end of the month and I have bills to pay.  |

Just for today, I will remember that each day is a new beginning. I don't have to pick up the trials and troubles of yesterday, I can just look at today and take things as they come.  |

Just for today, I will let go of my resentments. I will let go of what I can't change and my frustrations of yesterday, and not bring them into today. Today is a new beginning and I have to go back to the same hospital today, so have to make room for any more resentments that may arise.   |

Just for today, i will express my gratitude for the NA program. I go to NA for identification. I knew I was an addict. My drug of choice was always more. Tonight a friend celebrated 5 years. Keep coming so you don't have to come back. Na works! The frog means Cleanse. Clean house, let go of the old to make room for the new.  |

Just for today, I will stay in the moment. I will not project into the future, not even thoughts of going to my NA group tonight. I was told yesterday that the physiotherapist will suggest to her boss that I stop using my wheelchair and just use my walker. This is a big step forward for me, but may not begin until Monday, although I saw her boss coming in as I was leaving physio, so maybe it will happen today. A lot depends on my nurse, the personal support workers input if they get any, and my doctor.  |

Just for today, I will give my ego a back seat. I will be grateful for what has been given to me, knowing that what I have, is God given. I, Self, and Me don't get me any where that is for my Higher Good.  |

Just for today, I will try not to be judgmental. I must remember that these people don't have program. Lately it has seemed like I am talking to walls. it didn't help that I lost most of my voice the last couple of days. Acceptance of what is in today is not always easy.  |

Just for today, I will remember the ISMs of my dis-ease, I Self, and Mr. I must remember it isn't all about me. Remember first things first is my recovery. Without it, I have nothing.  |

Just for today, I will raise my level of acceptance. I was told today that I need to use my walking cast for another 6 weeks. I don't have to wear it all the time, just when I need it. That brings to mind the Serenity prayer, and the wisdom to know the difference. If you don't know, don't do. When the time is right, we will know if we turn it over to our HP. I also have to accept the weight gain due to medication. I do feel better, but I don't feel better about the extra pound I am carrying around.  |

Just for today, I will take things one day at a time. This is Tuesday, and I will be leaving Dundurn Place and going home on Friday morning. I will be sad to go. The routine and discipline has been good for me. Hopefully I can take some of it home with me. Mind you, they still haven't figured out my sleep patterns, I am about 2 hours past bed time.  |

. I will be back looking for Lin and others.
