Just for today, I will give thanks for what was, even if it doesn't measure up to my expectations. It may not be the way I planned my day, but I have found out that my God and I are often not on the same page. When that happens, it generally means that I was impatient and turned the page too early, because I skimmed over things and didn't stop to learn the lesson or experience the day to the fullest.

Just for today, I find my center and balance myself, not with what is around me. I will let go of what is not mine, and accept the goodness into my life.

Just for today, I will practice patience and tolerance. I have to go out to the library to return books. I also need the exercise. I haven't had much patience with myself since I goofed up on Saturday.

Just for today, I will try not to have the last word and think I know it all. I will try to get out of Self and not sit on my own private little pity party, just because I am hurting. I am not the only one. I know it helps to get out of Self and help someone else, no matter how little I can do, it is enough.

Just for today, I will give thanks for the Good Orderly Direction I received in today. I said the Serenity Prayer before I left and to endorse that my God was with me, He put people in my path today. As we got off Darts Transportation, a long time friend was waiting to get picked up. My body is sending me a message that it is almost time to close up shop.

My body talks to me all the time. Some days, if I want to do something or get something done, I have to tune it out. It is surprising what you hear when you listen. Sometimes my head has a problem figuring out and needs a translator. As my co-sponsor (a Native American woman) use to say to me, "Are you still trying to intellectualizing, Stop It!

Just for today, I will give my God praise and acknowledge all He does for me in today. It is more than a thank you, it is often asking for forgiveness and trying to do better with what He gives me.

Not only a friendship with others, but with myself and with my God.

Just for today, I will accept what is. The 5 As of change. Awareness, Admittance, Acceptance, Attitude and Action. Without that acceptance, I can't tak action. Without acceptance, even though I am aware and admit to a problem, I end up with a major attitude that needs adjustment.

Just for today, I will share because I care. I will give and share, not because I have to, although they say I need to do so in order to maintain my sobriety, but because if I come from a loving place, I can see the good in all and I learn to identify, not compare.

Just for today, I will acknowledge the gift of others. We all have different gifts and blessings, we don't all have the same capabilities. We each have a God given talent to use for His Honour and Glory. What a boring place this would be if we didn't have a variety of gifts to bring to Him to thank Him for His Grace and the Blessing He bestows on us each day. Not sure that is saying what I want to portray, but hope you get the meaning. Each of us carries our own special message and contribute to life in our own special way and we shouldn't feel less than because we don't feel we measure up. There is no yard stick to measure, God isn't counting, only we do in our narrow outlook and judgmental way.

Just for today, I will accept the fact that I am a little behind in my day. I will try to make healthy choices. I am not too mobile, so will have to be accepting of my limitations. Even with my limitations, I know that I can't project that into my day, because my Higher Power is all Powerful and through Him, all things are possible.

Just for today, I will remember that it is a one day at a time program. One days feelings, actions, experiences, memories, trials and tribulations. I have freedom of choice, it is up to me as to how I choose to live my day. It is good to remember that a day can start any time, and I can stop and start my day anew.

Just for today, I will practice the principles of my program in all of my affairs. I must remember that the principles of the program are applicable to my home life, in the community, at work, and out of the rooms of recovery.

Just for today, I will live in the moment. I will accept what is and not put high expectations on myself, especially when my body protests too much.

One of my favourite pictures. Not sure if it is telling me not to pig out or not, but my oven is hot and it is time to go make some chocolate chip cookies.

Just for today, I will make good use of my time. I will do what is in my best interest and for my Higher Good. I will look after me so that I have something to give away to others. As they say, "If you don't give it away, you lose it."
