Chipping Away at Defects of Character

[MajestyJo]

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.
