Just for Today

Lets face it. I'm completely overwhelmed. I'm so ready for this week to be over. But I have to keep reminding myself to just take it a day at a time and remember the sage advice from an Ann Lander column. Just For Today-

Just for today I will live through the next 12 hours and not tackle my whole life's problems at once.

Just for today I will improve my mind. I will learn something useful. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.

Just for today I will be agreeable, I will look my best, speak in a well-modulated voice, be courteous and considerate.

Just for today I will not find fault with friend, relative or colleague. I will not try to change or improve anyone but myself.

Just for today I will have a program. I might not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two enemies — hurry and indecision.

Just for today I will exercise my character in three ways. I will do a good turn and keep it a secret. If anyone finds out, it won't count.

Just for today I will do two things I don't want to do, just for exercise.

Just for today I will be unafraid. Especially will I be unafraid to enjoy what is beautiful and believe that as I give to the world, the world will give to me.


And allow me to add- Just for today I will take a deep breath and realize that I can do it.

  2. Rather than feeling defeated like I am, you are such an optimist. So proud:) That was exactly what I needed to hear today. Thanks!
