Just for today, i accept what is in today and ask for nothing more, nothing less, I can't wish my life away. What was important, happened. i made it over to my NA home group and chaired the meeting. I didn't get to play bridge. If I had forced myself to go to bridge, I know I wouldn't have made it to my group. I couldn't stay out of bed today. It was get up, go back to bed, get up and go back to bed. I had to set the alarm in case I didn't wake up in time to go. The alarm woke me up after 8 hours of sleep.  |

Just for today, working on having some patience with myself. Here I am posting 12 hours after I started posting last night after my meeting. I was very hyper after chairing the meeting, and I couldn't sleep. i hope I can now.  |

Just for today, I will try to change my attitude. The last few days it is "I don't want to go to bed" or "I don't want to leave my bed." The problem is that I have been sleeping the day away. So I need to turn my sleeping habits over to my God again!  |

Just for today, it is not up to me to reason why or justify, I have had no sleep and i need to find myself some. It is my fault that i didn't want to put the book down, it is not the fault of the fault of the nurse, Meals on Wheels, or the physiotherapist who came by.  |

Just for today, I will try to put some self-care into my regime and get some healthy sleep, hopefully not an hour here and an hour there. I phoned Darts and cancelled my ride for tonight, two days and nights without sleep is not good. I will turn things over to my God and do a meditation. I have already lit a candle.  |

Just for today, i will try to not isolate. I will take a walk in my hall, if I can't get out. I will try to exercise my mind, and I will try to talk to someone beside my son.  |

Just for today, I am trying to persevere and get my posting done. i haven't hurt like this for a while, and wondering how come, when I haven't done much more than going down to the pharmacy twice today. i reached out to my friend, but it seems to be a rough time for both of us. She gets a lot less sleep than I do. All I can do is turn each day over to my God, and allow Him to direct my path.  |

Just for today, I am working on doing what makes me happy. I got almost all my laundry done, except for the bedding on my bed. Hope to do it later, but I can't see it happening before tomorrow. I am taking myself out for dinner. That makes me happy. She is making Shepherds Pie with dessert and juice for $5. I hope it is good, it is one of my favourite meals.  |

Just for today, I hope to wash some bedding. I might try and take it down when i finish posting. It would be nice to ride the energy while I got it, that is if I didn't use it all up yesterday. When I think that word, I think, "But this is a new day." Just trying to save positive. I have pain around my heart, so hoping it will go away. Maybe I will have to do the laundry later.  |

Just for today, I will listen to my body. It is already acting up, having some pain in my neck and I'm aching all over, probably as a result of my busy day yesterday. I will apply the slogan, "Easy does it...but do it."  |

Just for Today, I will try to get a better perspective on my day. I have two appointments, one to the foot clinic and the second to see my family doctor. I will do whatever it takes to make it to these appointments.  |

just for today, i will practice patience and tolerance. i got to the foot clinic early. Was glad i brought my book. i had hopes of being home by 11 am and it was almost a half hour past that. Thankfully Meals on Wheels didn't shoe up until almost noon. I went down to the pharmacy to get bagels and got more. Darts is picking me up to go to take me to my doctor's appointment. The pick up time is 3:30 pm so the could shoe up between 3:15 and 3:45, which is still early for my 4:30 appointment. I was going to lie down, but my feet are really hurting. Not sure I would sleep, thre is a lot of banging and drilling going on over and above the fire alarm.  |

Just for today, I will stay in the moment and take the day as it comes. My lights didn't go out, but my cable TV, phone and computer did. I still haven't got my TV back but thankfully I can call my server and get help. I put posting first, I don't need the TV/  |

Just for today, I am going to try to lift my spirits up. It has been a down day and my feet are badly swollen so not very mobile. It is raining again after all our sunshine. It has been a down day, no TV or internet until just after 4:30 pm. I did have my nose in a book, I am reading Hunted by James Patterson. I thought I had read it, but each page has been new and I haven't wanted to put the book down. F.R.O.G. FULLY, RELYING ON GOD.  |

Just for today, I am going to wait on my God to see what He would have me do. I thought of calling the server for my TV and got side tracked with my VON nurse and Meals on Wheels, who came as the other was leaving. I had the thought of taking my blood sugar but forgot until after my social worker's assistant called. I have two appointments for tomorrow. Waiting for a call back.  |

J is for Just for Today. Just for today, my thought will be on my new associations, people who are not using, and have found this new way of living. So long as I follow this way, I have nothing to fear.  |

Just for today, I hope get my bedding done. i say I am and don't do it. The sun is shining and I want to go outside and get some exercise. Will see who wins, or maybe we can get lucky and do both. Feel a wall of fatigue, going to have lunch and see what happens. Laundry is a priority. They are doing fire alarm testing, tempted to leave the building.  |

JJust for today, I will not beat myself up. Even I can see, for me to have slept so long, I must have needed it. I went to sleep in my chair around midnight and woke up just after 7 a.m. and went back to bed about 9 p.m. and got woken up at 11:30 a.m. and went back to bed at noon and woke up at 4:45 p.m. and it took me a half hour to get out of my bed. I am doing my posting instead of going back to bed.  |

. I will be back looking for Lin and others.
