Just for today, I will be honest as to how I feel and where I am in my recovery. Today has been a hurting day, but I always try not to let my pain dictate my day. That means I accept it and do what I need to do to get through my day with some serenity and peace.

Just for Today, I will tell my disease that it belongs on the back burner. I have things to do, places to go, and don't have time for it. I woke up with no pain, and now I have a pain in my left arm, an ache in my side, a sore knee, and a pain in my neck. So I am going to do a meditation and then take a shower and get ready to go out.

Just for today, I will accept my pain. I was thinking earlier, that I need to take a time out and do a meditation before I go to the chiropractors. If I don't find the acceptance, I stay stuck. Just like the keys on my computer. It is heating up, so I must close up shop and allow it to cool down.

Just for today, I will make a point of connecting to a friend., a stranger will be good too. Isolation is part of my disease. I not only block O/Ps when I shut down, I block myself from my Higher Power.

Just for today, I will try to connect with family. It is good to let go of the past and live for today.

Just for today, I will be responsible. I will put aside my wants and desires for the things I need to do for my health and well being. It always help me to help another and I hope by sharing my journey each day helps someone else along the way.

Just for today, I am setting a goal for myself. I want and need to go to the NA meeting tonight. I have missed it too many times lately because I let something else get in the way of being able to go. My feet have been swollen so badly they have prevented me from putting shoes on or I have done something that caused me to use up my energy or didn't something that was detrimental to my health. Just for today, I will set my priorities first. First thing first is my recovery. We can do what I can't do alone.

Just for today, I am going to take care of myself. I will accept my limitations and not overdo things after my fall.

Just for Today, I will try to remember what I need for my recovery. Last night I had a ride booked with Darts. The driver must have waited and drove away and didn't phone to see where I was. I was sound of sleep and didn't here anything from 4 pm until 9:30 pm, not exactly a nap. I got 3 more hours sleep this morning. Organized I am not. Yesterday I put some doctor's appointments on the calendar that I had misplaced. So glad this program is one day at a time.

Just for today, I will pray for patience and tolerance. I know the two go together, I need the patience to deal with the tolerance.

Just for today, I will make a point of saying "I love you" to those around me. Sometimes I think I take it for granted, and I need to take action, not just think it. Action comes after thought, even if I choose to not take action, I am coming to a decision.

Just for today, I will not beat myself up for forgetting to make sure I had the Gaither Gospel Hour set to record the show while I was away at my group. Seeing as my system is new, I lost all my saved recording that I had of them. I am sure they will be repeated in the future, but in today, I don't have the gospel songs. I am listening to Jazz instrumentals now.

Just for today, I will build up my energy. I went to get laundry ready and I got tired before I got it out the door. I gave come to the conclusion that eating cinnamon and raisin bagels are not foods that build up your strength. So I have been doing some meditation. I woke with out any pain, so I figured it would be a good time to do laundry. Right, but couldn't get it all on my walker and out the door to go to the 3rd floor.

Just for today, I will keep working my program. Today it has been putting one foot in front of the other, but it didn't take me very far. I was reminded to pray for the willingness to be willing. I have a cold that won't go away. I have too big for my shoes.

Just for today, I will turn my day over to my God and let Him lead and guide me. Hopefully He can get me to where I need to go, because I feel like cancelling everything. Pain can be such a bummer, but I can't let it dictate my day. My right foot is paining and I don't want to stand on it, let alone walk on it.

Just for today, I will pray on some patience. I am suppose to have a nurse come and bandage my feet and I don't know what time she is coming. I don't do waiting well, I think of all the things I should be doing, the key word being should. I seem to be shouding a lot lately, like I should do laundry. I want to go downtown to the mall, I am going through withdrawal.

Just for today, I will quiet my mind, say the Serenity Prayer and ask for what I need for my health and well being according to my God's plan for my life. In today, I try to be God conscious instead of self-conscious. One of my favourite pictures.

Just for today, I will listen to my body and listen to what it says. For so many years I ignored it and did what I did any way. Sometimes it is good to put our pain aside and work through it, but we often quit, when we should take that extra step. Have hit a wall this morning, and I am having trouble concentrating, not just posting but watching curling too. I have a ringing in my ears, but no one seems to want to pick up the phone and say hello.

L is for Laughter. I will never forget the feeling of laughing and feeling it in my stomach. It was a real belly laugh. A laugh that was real and not a phony laugh in reaction to something I didn't real feel was funny, but wanted to people please.
