Just for today, I will apply my program to my life to the best of my ability. I picked up the phone and called my chiropractor who I have procrastinated about calling. I didn't want him to touch my shoulder after getting the cortisone shot. I have been having head aches and they are a sure sign I need to see him.

Just for today, I will allow myself a time out. Not feeling on top of the world, so going to nurture the body, instead of pushing it do that extra mile. I allowed myself to roll over and go back to sleep, twice.

Just for today, I will make it simple. I need to post. I need to cook dinner. I need to make it to my NA meeting. Somewhere in there I need to do a couple of loads of laundry.

Just for today, I will give thanks for my recovery by sharing it with others. It is important that I take my recovery out of the rooms and apply it to my every day living, at home, in the community, and with family and friends. I have so much to be grateful for. The biggest being that I can still read and still walk around.

Just for today, I will fully rely on God. I will let God direct my thinking. I will trust in God.

Just for today, I will practice being patient and tolerant with myself. I am sorting through clothes and breaking my denial and accept the fact that winter is truly here. We got snow!

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animated...tedpod1073.gif

Just for today, I will try not to nurture myself and take care of some 'me' things that I need to get caught up on. As I shared last night, I can get busy and not take time to deal with my own issues. Busy is not always good. Busy is better than doing nothing, but it can lead to nothing, if I don't take care of myself.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcanpixie.gif

Just for today, I will not let anything stand in the way of making it to my group today. I needed to get out of my own way, I can be my own worst enemy.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalp...ralpod1156.jpg

Just for today, I will conserve my energy as I have three things to do today. I go to the foot clinic, so I have a leg to stand on. I go to my chiropractor to get my body aligned, and then to my NA group to feed my spirit.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalp...ralpod1157.jpg

Just for today, I will come out of isolation and socialize. This is a 'we' program. That includes community and friends outside of the program.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdogworangeflowers2.jpg

Just for today, I will align my will with my God's. All I have planned for is the meeting tonight. They say if you want to make your God laugh, tell Him your plans. Hope we are on the same page. I am also planning a nap, so we will see.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalp...ralpod1159.jpg

Just for today, I will practice patience and tolerance. I have an appointment with my heart specialist. Tomorrow my social worker is coming. She had some gifts for me for the holiday.

http://www.angelwinks.ca/images/christmas/anc69.gif

Just for today, I will express my gratitude. More importantly, I will live my gratitude by taking action. My social worker is bring gifts to me for the holiday. Tonight I am taking coleslaw to the NA meeting New Beginnings, who is serving a Christmas dinner before it's meeting. It is important to give back.

http://angelwinks.net/iq/chqc8.jpg

Just for today, going to play it by ear. Got dressed and showed up for the day and things just seemed to happen, even though I wasn't too pleased with some of the action.

Paid my bills, got my groceries and necessities for my home, and the money just seemed to disappear. I don't like putting money out for things I can't eat or drink. That is an old tape, and although it is better, it could take some adjusting.

http://www.angelwinks.ca/iq/cheveqc1.jpg

Just for today, I will keep my spirit up. I will feed it spiritual food. The best thing we can do is to help another and not tell anyone what you did. Life is good. Having a good friend beside you, makes it even better.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/thoughtp...ughtpod968.jpg

Just for today, I will live each day to it's fullest. It is up to me to make the best of each day with what I have been given. I just have to be open to things as they come. Tonight is my NA home group and a member's four year anniversary. So today is mine, tonight is hers.

http://www.angelwinks.ca/images/christmas/c184.jpg

Just for today, I will practice patience and tolerance. My thought want to go into tomorrow and going to the NA meeting. I phoned to see if a ride was available with Darts, but they are booked up. I was told to phone back to see if anything became available later.

http://www.angelwinks.ca/images/christmas/c399.jpg

Just for today, I will give thanks, not only for the alone time, but for the opportunity to be supportive of others.

https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org...tians_5-22.jpg

Just for today, it is always patience and tolerance when I am with family. When I accept them for who they are, and where they are coming from, I can do the patient and tolerance thing much better. I just don't like game playing. I think I am getting too old for it.

http://www.angelwinks.ca/images/christmas/c225.jpg

Just for today, more patience and tolerance. My pharmacy didn't open at it's usual time, so I have to wait to pick up my medication for the week. Hope that doesn't mean Darts being late picking me up for my meeting tonight. Last week they didn't get me there on time. Just trying to stay in the moment, in today.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qckit...nkflowers2.jpg

Just for today, I am working on doing what needs to be done instead of procrastinating. I managed to do two loads of laundry, then the body crashed. Now after eating, I am having chest pains, so trying to get my posting done so I can take myself back to bed.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalp...ralpod1169.jpg

Just for today, I plan to stay in and not go out in the cold. If my leg will let me stand and move on it, i will do up some dishes for starters. I also have some library books to read, so it is a do day, but not going out to that cold.

http://www.angelwinks.ca/images/chri...kristina25.gif

Just for today, I will reach out to others. I am new to the members of my group. It is important to remember that I am a newcomer, not someone who things she knows it all. It is a one day at a program. That is applicable to every day of my life. I just have more times practicing and screwing up.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcbunnies435.jpg

Just for today, I will give myself permission to go back to bed to try to get some more sleep. It was my fault that I got lost in my book and didn't put it down. I book is due in three day another in four days, so that means doing some heavy reading. TV and my computer have gotten in the way of something I really like to do.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcporch336.jpg

Just for today, I will live this day to it's fullest. That means going back to my bed at some point and getting more sleep. I plan to do service tonight, hoping people show up for the NA New Year's Service. It is my goal to be there for any newcomers.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod28.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcelephant438.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod30.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdogpicketfence.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animated...tedpod1096.gif

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod33.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/thoughtp...ughtpod984.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/nostalgi...algicpod97.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/gmpod/gmpod98.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animated...tedpod1101.gif

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcgirlkittenbook1.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qc2huggingcats1.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod40.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdoghello1.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/thoughtp...ughtpod992.jpg

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.
