Just for today | Filed under General
Life continues going on and on,moving ahead on our journey as we do the best we can to make the most we can of our lives. We all know I am learning more about myself and my passions in life and how to enjoy myself more everyday. After celebrating another year of life yesterday and spending it as I chose reflecting and sharing I know I will continue to be even more blessed this year. Thanks to those special people who made my day special with the cards and the comments you are what helps keep me saying Life Is Simply Good.
As Kenneth L. Holmes says here is something for us all to reflect on.
Just for today, I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle
my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours
that would appall me if I felt I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
Just for today, I will be happy. This assumes to be true what
Abraham Lincoln said, that “most folks are as happy as
they make up their minds to be.”
Just for today, I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study.
I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer.
I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
Just for today, I will adjust myself to what is, and not try
to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my “luck”
as it comes, and fit myself to it.
Just for today, I will exercise my soul in three ways: I will do
somebody a good turn, and not get found out. I will do at least
two things I don’t want to do–just for exercise. I will not show
anyone that my feelings are hurt; they may be hurt,
but today I will not show it.
Just for today, I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can,
dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit,
not find fault with anything and not try to improve
or regulate anybody except myself.
Just for today, I will have a program. I may not follow
it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from
two pests: hurry and indecision.
Just for today, I will have a quiet half hour all by myself,
and relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try
to get a better perspective of my life.
Just for today, I will be unafraid. Especially I will not
be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe
that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.
Now just for today, remember to make certain Life Is Simply Good.

Just for today. Sometimes it’s just for this moment. Rings so true. Got here a couple different ways. Thanks for the cup of coffee. See you around - just for today.

So far, so good. Today was as sweet as yesterday. Tomorrow promises to be sweeter still.
Sounds like you just celebrated a birthday. Funny the way we celebrate birthdays, I think the mother should be remembered on that day, more so than the baby. We should trace our beginnings back about 9 months.
