Just For Today
January 7, 2010

I am a blog thief! Yes, I truly am. I hopped on over to my cute friend Elizabeth’s blog today and sighed a big sigh when I read what she had written. Elizabeth has the most adorable family, blog and card making business. I am in constant awe (and a little (lot) bit of envy) of all of the creativity that oozes out of her. Really, she is amazing and I want to be just like her when I grow up. Too bad I am already older than she is. Oh well, a girl can dream huh!

Anyway…. She found this really amazing way to carry resolutions into crazy, busy, chaotic, oh my word where did today go world. I am reposting this and hope that you enjoy it as much as I did. Thanks Elizabeth. I hope that you don’t mind that I swiped it.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set far-reaching goals or try to overcome all of my problems at once.JUST FOR TODAY: I will be happy. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me. If my mind fills with clouds, I will chase them away and fill it with sunshine.JUST FOR TODAY: I will accept what is. I will face reality. I will correct those things that I can correct and accept those I cannot.JUST FOR TODAY: I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I will be kind and courteous to those who cross my path, and I’ll not speak ill of others. I will improve my appearance, speak softly, and not interrupt when someone else is talking.JUST FOR TODAY: I will refrain from improving anybody but myself.JUST FOR TODAY: I will gather the courage to do what is right and take responsibility for my own actions.

Well, aren't you just the sweetest, nicest, most thoughtful person in the world to not only think such nice things about me and my little family but to want to say them "out loud" and share them with me (and others)! 🙂 Truly that made my month, perhaps even my year!!!!! I'm glad my little finding of "Just for today" has brightened your world and hope that it's something that you'll think of…if not tomorrow, today!
