Just for today....
I just responded to DS discussion post. "what are your expectations for yourself" okay so I responded with the "just for today" poem which is also one of the teachings from my Reiki classes.
Just for today, I will let go of anger: not feeling angry today, my anger triggers are husband, parents, and employers. detachment, detachment, and detachment.
Just for today I will let go of worry: started out as a worry day::: puppy sick? younger son moved out yesterday (Happy for him...sad for me) older son needs a girl!!!!! husband being plagued with insomnia and anxiety. okay so puppy is home with hubby who loves her and knows what to do. #2 son has a good job, moving in with a good friend , and is doing what he needs to do. #1 son has finally landed a decent job after searching for more than 2 years after obtaining his Masters. he is smart hardworking loyal and cute... a girlfriend will show up. husband needs to take care of himself ,he has access to a therapist who was teaching him relaxation and meditation... so he can just pick up the phone for help.
Today I will do my work with intention: ugh, I am not so motivated at work today, but I believe this line, involves the work of living, so......
today i will count my many blessings: i have too many to list here :)
today i will be kind to all living creatures: INCLUDING MYSELF!!!!

Yes, looking for things to be grateful for helps my attitude so I am glad you shared this. Worrying never changes anything and it is a waste of time. I have allowed myself to feel bad today and have to realize tomorrow will most likely look different.
Been coming down with a cold and feel achy and sad so I think I need to pamper myself and just be ok with needing down time. Think I will do my ebay stuff and have an early night. Maybe watch a movie and find something good to eat.... :) That always helps (lol) until the pounds creep up. But I can exercise when I feel better and I do not have to be perfect.
today turned out to be a good one in spite of an intense dental appointment on the way home from a crazed day at work! i found myself in a not bad place at work watching ineffective management squirm in a difficult situation and i didn\'t allow any of their stuff under my skin, without worry!!!! puppy is fine, husband is sober, son content, parents safe and healthy. my mouth hurts, but i have dental insurance (phew) and even had a few laughs with dentist and assistance. just made brownies. the only negative at the moment is the arrival of cold symptoms...that\'s what vitamin c and tea is for .
Tea and \"C\" sound good for me too. I am glad you are doing well...
