Just for Today
Just for today I will try to live through this day only & not tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I felt that I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
Just for today I will be happy. Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Just for today I will adjust myself to what is & not try to adjust everything else to my desires. I will take my “luck” as it comes & fit myself into it.
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 & concentration.
Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways: I will do somebody a good turn & not get found out; if anybody knows of it, it will not count; 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 good as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit, not find fault with anything & 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 & indecision.
Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself & relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better perspective on my life.
Just for today I will be unafraid. I will enjoy that which is beautiful & will believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.
Just , for today , “God you direct me in al that follows. I have a tumor on 1 kidney and so gratefull to be in recovery , always, in sobriety! “God has shown me the way to go! “Sanity has returned, thus I trust in Him. “I have love from my AA friends which are indiscribable with what they have to offer! “My soul is with them all , and I am not alone. “United we stand!!!!!! _ “Amen

I agree 100% to Just for today.Because oldtomers have told me :yesterdays is history,tomorow is mistery and today is reality.
i agree karen it is so easy to follow but like it says I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. i think if every one in life lived by this the world would be nearly perfect as we all know there is no such thing as perfection :)

if only we all practised it daily the world would be a better place Karen
