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 work on myself. I will take my focus off others and direct it to myself.

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!!!

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalp...ralpod1232.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/nostalgi...algicpod27.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/greeting...tingspod60.jpg

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.

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

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qc2kittens302.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animated...tedpod1158.gif

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcfriendspoem2.jpg

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

http://angelwinks.ca/images/kitten/kitten16.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animated...tedpod1161.gif

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/nostalgi...algicpod36.jpg

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

http://angelwinks.ca/images/lovepod/lovepod30.gif

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/gmpod/gmpod63.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/nostalgi...algicpod42.jpg

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdog314.jpg

Just for today, I will try not to beat myself up some more. Haven't been to sleep since 9 pm yesterday. Coming up on 24 hours, but hope to be in bed asleep by then.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animated...tedpod1170.gif

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod45.jpg

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.

http://www.angelwinks.ca/images/huggers8.gif

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.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalp...ralpod1254.jpg

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. ;)

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod49.jpg

Just for today, I will practice patience with myself. Still awake, but have done some yawning, so maybe now I can find some sleep.

I had to be patient with the nurse who had lots of questions and pages of paper work to fill out.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod50.jpg

Just for today, I am planning to give myself some TLC. I am not feeling up to par, even my fingers are having problems keeping up.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalp...ralpod1259.jpg

Just for today, I will make an effort to get out and connect with people. My spirit has been too isolated recently. I haven't been outside since my group on Friday and that was just across the street. I hope to go to the mall after I go to the chiropractor today. I need to get out and get in touch with Mother Earth.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/greeting...tingspod84.jpg

Just for today, I will remember the words, "God doesn't make no junk." As my son reminded me this morning, I am getting old and soon I will be getting older. My birthday is closing in, and I have to remember to stay in today. More importantly to me, each day is a new beginning, so I have to make the most of each day.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/faithpod/faithpod54.jpg

Just for today, I won't fight and block the flow in my life. I have been listening to Country Classics while posting and I haven't had a yawn yet, I haven't been to sleep all night and all morning. It is an old habit of mine to set things aside to do what I want to do in the moment. I can see it as Self-centered and not God-centered. I am posting because I want to go to my NA meeting tonight, don't want to wait to post at 9 pm instead of 9 am.

https://media.tenor.com/images/43e40...d169/tenor.gif

Just for today, I am praying for some acceptance and patience. Not only with myself, but with my son also.

Just for today, I will pray for patience. I have to wait for my ride to my sisters. i am waiting for the food, because she always prepares lots and it is always good. it is my birthday and i know i will get birthday hugs there.

http://www.filegenie.net/animated_gifs/easter/e178.gif

just for today, i will try to stay balanced. I have had a great birthday as well as a good Easter. i am enjoying natural highs, and i need to stay grounded.

https://media.tenor.com/images/aff9d...06b5/tenor.gif

It is important for me to keep in touch with others, especially those in the program. i am hoping my feet will co-operate and get me to my group tonight seeing as i missed Friday and Sunday meetings. I notice a change in me when i don't get. The biggest flaw i see s my mouth gets too mouthy and starts to cuss.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qc2teddies430.jpg

Just for today, I will give thanks for the energy I have been given to do my laundry, all four loads of it of just sheets, towels and my comforter. God is very good to me.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/greeting...tingspod91.jpg

Just for today, I will do what I can and leave the rest for another day. I have found myself shoulding today, shoulding here shoulding there. i need to lower my expectations of myself. I am no getting any younger. I need to stop and let my brain catch up to me.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animated...tedpod1187.gif

Just for today, I need some patience and acceptance. I have a head ache and my tremon disorder has made it difficult to type. Between the two, having trouble being myself. As the slogan says, "This too shall pass,' I hope.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qccatstaff1.jpg

just for today, I will go with the flow. I think I will go back to bed to see if I can catch some more sleep, if not I will take myself downtown.

Made it to my group last night even though it was snowing so that is good. Recovery for me is living in the moment, practicing the program to the best of my ability, as \i try to do my God's Will each day.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/gmpod/gmpod88.jpg

just for today, I will be accepting of what is in today. I went back to my bed three times, and that is why, this is my morning and my posts are late. it doesn't look like one of my better days, but I am aiming toward making it to my NA meeting tonight.
