Just for today~Just for me:)
Permalink  

Woke up this am and went straight to my am daily readers of which there are 3-lol!  Not sure which one but one talked about Just for Today and how this 24 hour period was all I have to work with and all the wonderful ways I could enjoy it.

I decided right then and there that that is just what I would do.  No crazy dancing today, no eye spying on the ex and trying to find a back door into his world, no anger, no resentments, no hate, no hurries, no worries. 

Just for today I am going to enjoy the 24 hour period that my HP gave me and see it as the blessing it is and not as the task bearing curse I can turn it into if I allow my thoughts to go that way.
Just for today I am not going to allow myself to feel overwelmed with lists of To Do's that never really get caught up anyway.
Just for today I am going to enjoy going to the market and thank HP that I have that money to put food on the table for my son, and that I have a car to get me there and back.
Just for today I am going to really listen to my mom, and thank HP that she is here today even though she can make me crazy:)
Just for today I am going to walk over the dirty laundy and pass by the dirty dishes and play with my son and rough house with my zoo.
Just for today I am going to be happy and enjoy the blessings I have been given and not What If and Should myself to death.
Just for today I am going to live..........just for today

Love and peace
shelly

Just for today, because the sun was shining after 5 days of rain, because I was becoming overloaded with stress, I went and sat in the shade of a huge oak tree by the river and listened to the silence.....PEACE......

Awesome post! I especially like the one about "what-if"s and "should"s.

Thanks for sharing!
