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. |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

Feb. 17 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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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!!!  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

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.  |

. I will be back looking for Lin and others.
