Just for today, I will practice my patience with myself. My body is not functioning normally. I have a lot of numbness and shooting pain, doesn't seem right if I am numb, now come I feel the pain.

They said I didn't have cracked ribs at the hospital, but they must be badly bruised, yet there is nothing showing externally. So glad this day starts again in 75 min.

Just for today, I will be generous with my time. I won't be greedy and take without giving. My son made cookies, I will make a point of telling him that I enjoyed them.

Just for today, I am going to continue to look after myself. I am so looking forward to my appointment at the Holistic Center. They will be able to work on my legs, feet, and neck.

Just for today, I will practice patience and tolerance. I can't get into my apartment until after 2 p.m. so now I can leave the internet cafe and go and confirm with my chiropractor appointment for 3. Have to conserve my energy for my NA group tonight at 7 p.m.

Just for today, I will try to stay centered, and give thanks for the honour of speaking at an AA group tomorrow morning. My long time friend called me this morning to say that she hadn't been able to find a speaker. I told her if she was ever stuck, I would be back up for her. Today my big mouth will have to step and deliver her promise. I haven't shared my story in a long time. The challenge is the fact the meeting starts at 10:30 a.m. and as you all know, I don't do mornings well.

Just for today, I will practice honesty. I spoke at an AA meeting this morning and I had to get honest. It was good that I was asked seeing as I am coming upon my 27 years celebration. Lately, I have been thinking, God willing. I also had to practice some acceptance, and I stood up front holding myself up with my cane, with both feet bandaged. As I shared this morning, go to a meeting, and you will find out that your not so bad, there is always someone else worse off than you are.

Just for today, I will take care of myself. I am going to go back to bed and catch you all later.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcdog...ofyousign1.jpg

Just for today, I will share with others. I made it to a NA meeting tonight and asked, "Did you miss me?" I felt guilty for being away so long. Apparently two of the members had just discussed my absence wondering where I had gotten to.

Last week when I wanted to go, I found out that Darts had put my rides on hold. I had to phone in and get the schedule reinstated. I still have been given an okay for Sunday. I had cancelled the rides after my fall, even tonight when the driver hit some bumps, not too carefully, my ribs and back hurt. So again it is acceptance of what is and do what you can with what you are given.

Just for today, I will pray for patience and tolerance. I keep looking at the clock and the hands aren't moving fast enough. I don't do mornings well, and today I got up at >7:30 a.m. zo you know why I am praying. I have an appointment at 3 p.m. and then I can come home and crash.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/gnpod/gnpod40.jpg

Just for today, I am going to practice self care. I have a headache that is trying to tell me it is a migraine, and I am ignoring it. I don't think I will be going outside, but I think I will look for the bed I missed out on last night by sleeping in my chair.

This card gives a great message. Mine feels like it is gounded.

Just for today, I have some acceptance as to what is and not defying the advice I got from the Doctor at the foot clinic yesterday. I was told to stay off my feet, and so far, got myself a donut (defiant against the food guide for diabetics), a bagel and three glasses of water. So for today, I am planning to eat healthy and stay off my poor feet. I need to allow them time to heal. I want to go to the $1. Store but going to stay home. just for today, I will not feed the addict in me who always wants more.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcgirl490.jpg

Just for today, I will continue to allow my body to heal. I had lots of sleep last night but laid down at 3 pm for a nap and woke up at 9 pm. I had to phone Darts to make an amend for missing my ride to the NA meeting tonight. They put my rides on hold for Sunday and Tuesday nights and I reinstated them, and then I ended up a no show.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qc2po...erforever1.jpg

Just for today, I will listen to my body. my legs have been going numb and my right foot is paining. The sore that has been treated by VON just isn't healing inside, so that means the feet still have to be kept up and going downtown is not a good thing.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qckitten394.jpg

Just for today, I will be responsible. I won't let this do nothing day end without me meeting my responsibilities. There is no has to, there is just want to. Without posting, my day feels less than.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/nostalgi...lgicpod124.jpg

Just for today, I will choose life by choosing recovery. I will take care of myself. Just for today!

Just for today, I will do service. I will live God Centered instead of Self-Centered. I made a point of going to my group tonight. I missed last week and I felt badly. I was blessed by greeting newcomers to our group.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcppine296.jpg

Just for today, I choose to go with the flow. That is for the rest of my day, I slept the day away. I went back to bed at 8:30 am after falling asleep in my chair for gosh only know how long. Went back to bed after a pit stop at 10:30 am and 3 pm, and woke up to get up at 8:30 pm. i would say I messed up my day, hope the night goes by better

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcpainterbear1.jpg

Just for today, my goal is to get to the NA meeting tonight. The sun is shining and I would like to walk to the mall, but that may be pushing it.

I woke up at 7 am and already feel like going back to my bed. I just try to listen to my body and do what I can do in the moment.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animated...tedpod1072.gif

Just for today, I will take it as it comes. I have to go to the pharmacy to pick up my weekly meds and my bagels.

The rest is up for grabs. The way I feel in the moment, I am heading back to bed.

Just for today, I will take first things first. My goal for today is to go to my Tuesday night NA meeting. If it stays sunny, I may try going to the mall to get some exercise. I woke up with cramping in my hips and thighs, so may just end up walking down to the pharmacy to return last week's docette, and be happy with that.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalp...ralpod1124.jpg

Just for today, I ask for forgiveness in my tardy posting today. I didn't sleep, I picked up a book that I couldn't put down. I eventually had, so I might as well as done it in the first place. Look at all the Is posted, self-will run riot. I was also not in the mood to fight with my computer.

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

Just for today, I will trust the process. Tonight I asked the chair person if we could have a discussion on change and asked if he could find a reading on the topic. It turned out that the reading for today in the NA Just for Today meditation book was on 'resistance to change.' and we also read a portion of Tradition One. For me it is without you,, there is no me.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qc2sleepingkittens2.jpg

Just for today, I will practice patience and tolerance. My computer is heating up again. i will have to log off and come back again.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcteddy404.jpg

Just for today, I will stay in the moment and let the unfold as it is, not how I want it to be. I have been awake since 8 p.m. yesterday, so need to find some sleep. I will try not to force solutions.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/kidpod/kidpod1144.jpg

Just for today, I will put some gratitude in my attitude. I have a chiropracctor's appointment. if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be walking. He has also helped me to maintain a measure of sanity and has helped me with my headaches. it is suppose to storm big time, so hope to get there, go to the library and the bank and home before it rains, so i need some acceptance and patience too.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcbabywcat306.jpg

Just for today, I will continue to work on my patience and tolerance. I took all the books that i hadn't read from a new author to me after I had picked up some other books that looked interesting. A little of that patience and tolerance has to go to myself, not just with other things.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcbutterfly307.jpg

Just for today, I will not be judgmental. They say, "Judge not, less you be judged." Today I was judging myself because I woke up and thought it was Friday, got dressed, crossed the street, went up and knocked on the door because it was locked. it was 10 to 7, so I thought one of the members was inside and forgot to open the door. Went down and knocked on the door of the custodians only to find out it was Thursday, not Friday. I set the alarm when I came home from the foot clinic, so I could sleep and not miss the meeting. A definite JoAnne thing, but others said they have done it too. When i was leaving, the woman who came to me and asked me to open my Group Freedom of Recovery was going in as i was coming out. Had a little meeting with her. I phoned a good friend and had a talk with her before I started posting tonight. When you get honest, good things happen.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/nostalgi...algicpod14.jpg

Just for Today, i will work through my pain. I will acknowledge and accept it, knowing what it is from, and ask what I need to get through it. i need to love myself. I can't let my pain rule my life. I can't take things that block it and submerge it into that inky blackness of addiction. i have to feel it in order to let it go.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/animated...tedpod1084.gif

just for today, I ask for patience and tolerance. I have had to reboot twice and close down and window twice and bring up a new one.

i have to shut off my computer again; it is so hot, even my desk is warm around it. This time it will have to cool off for more than an hour.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/generalp...ralpod1135.jpg

Just for today, I will try to stay in the moment and be accepting of what is, be it gun shots and sirens, I will be grateful that I am safe in my apartment. Had a big sleep, not a nap, so grateful for it and try not to lament me missing my NA meeting.

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

Just for today, I will be responsible. I have a couple of phone calls that I need to make. have papers to take down to the pharmacy when i pick up my medications for the week.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcangelstars1.gif

Just for today, I will give myself some love. I am worthy and find myself lacking. Really looking forward to the NA meeting tonight. i know I will get a hug or two there.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qc2bearsonswing2.jpg

just for today, I will think happy thoughts. I slept most of the day away, but I did manage to get my posting done, even though it is late. one day at a time.

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

just for today, I am praying for honesty and courage. i have some personal issues to talk to my social worker about.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcfairy317.jpg

Just for Today, I pray for health and well being. Ir is very hot and humid out and i had to cancel Darts and stay home. My foot doctor said to stay off of it, so I guess I should listen and learn to do what I am told. :)

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qckittewapple1.jpg

Just for today, I will tyr to listen harder. my dfoot doctor told me to stay off my feet, so my wounds would hill. Then she said that the wounds on my right foot were healed. Well I felt like I had to get out and I had to find a store that had butter. When I got home, the foot that was so healed, felt like it was bleeding. I walked downtown and back because it was a holiday Monday and buses that would take me close to my home, runs every hour.

The nice thing was that I was standing in line and my son said I was next. The guy at the other lineup put his stuff down and said put her item on my bill, because I am butting in front of her, so I wwill pay for her butter. This was at a variety store, my son went and got it because my feet were sore and I moved slow. I wwas afraid to ask how muh it was. and it ended up costing me nothing. i still don't know.

Didn't get this posted this morning, better late than never. it isn't morning, but perhaps it is morning somewhere. Let's pretend. let us start the day over and for the next 24 hours we will stay clean and sober.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/gmpod/gmpod83.jpg

just for today, i will listen for my God's Will. i turned my day over and what ever will be will be.

I need to remember that this works both ways.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/iq/qcgrumpycat1.gif

Just for today, I will try to meet my commitments. I have a chiropractor's appointment today and I have to call Darts to get a ride for net week. I am hoping by writing them here, I will remember them.

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

just for Today, i will re,omd myself that I have a choice, to live in my disease or live in today, not pick up no matter what. needing to find some self-acceptance. I phoned Darts yesterday and there were 14 callers a head of me. set the receiver down, finished posting and went to bed and slept for almost 10 hours. I forgot about my phone until I noticed the receiver on my desk asking it, 'What are you doing there? Of course it said, 'Why you put me here!!

http://angelwinks.ca/images/gmpod/gmpod86.jpg

Just for Today, I am going to be mindful of my time and energy. i have to go to my chiropractor's appointment and I need to go grocery shopping; but my main priority is my NA group tonight at 7 p.m. The other day I bought Korean Red Ginseng The pharmacist told me to mindful of my blood pressure; so we will see. It is to relieve stress and fatigue. not worried about stress, but really concerned about my fatigue. maybe a little stress, I keep forgetting things.
