Just for today, I will do what I need to do to get to my chiropractor's appointment. I am going to lay down and see if I can catch some Zzzzzs before 2 pm, which will give me time to get ready and call a taxi if need be. I don't know if I will b mobile enough to take the three buses to get to my appointment. I will still need to walk two blocks and not sure my back will let me. More will be revealed.

Just for today, I will ask for patience and tolerance with myself. My son woke me up this morning and I had only 3 1/2 hours sleep. I am having problems with my computer and I have to be patient and accepting of the fact that it just may be on it's last legs. Maybe if I talk to it nicely, it will perform better.

Just for today, I will let go of things that no longer serve me. Even things in recovery need to change, that was then, this is now. To carry things into tomorrow, only hurts me.

Just for today, I will forgive myself. I had to quit posting because my nurse came, and I felt so good, I went back to bed. I slept for 6 hours, being on the computer too late means i have to come off and sit with my feet up. Being on the ccomputer I se as getting out of self and pain and hopefully by sharing, I help somone else.

Just for today, I am trying to stay in the moment and check my emotions at the door. Really hurting and angry at myself and thinking what didn't you hear the first time. There must be a message here somewhere. My son says I belong in a home.

Just for today, I will practice my patience with myself. My body is not functioning normally. I have a lot of numbness and shooting pain, doesn't seem right if I am numb, now come I feel the pain.

They said I didn't have cracked ribs at the hospital, but they must be badly bruised, yet there is nothing showing externally. So glad this day starts again in 75 min.

Just for today, I will be generous with my time. I won't be greedy and take without giving. My son made cookies, I will make a point of telling him that I enjoyed them.

Just for today, I am going to continue to look after myself. I am so looking forward to my appointment at the Holistic Center. They will be able to work on my legs, feet, and neck.

Just for today, I will practice patience and tolerance. I can't get into my apartment until after 2 p.m. so now I can leave the internet cafe and go and confirm with my chiropractor appointment for 3. Have to conserve my energy for my NA group tonight at 7 p.m.

Just for today, I will try to stay centered, and give thanks for the honour of speaking at an AA group tomorrow morning. My long time friend called me this morning to say that she hadn't been able to find a speaker. I told her if she was ever stuck, I would be back up for her. Today my big mouth will have to step and deliver her promise. I haven't shared my story in a long time. The challenge is the fact the meeting starts at 10:30 a.m. and as you all know, I don't do mornings well.

Just for today, I will practice honesty. I spoke at an AA meeting this morning and I had to get honest. It was good that I was asked seeing as I am coming upon my 27 years celebration. Lately, I have been thinking, God willing. I also had to practice some acceptance, and I stood up front holding myself up with my cane, with both feet bandaged. As I shared this morning, go to a meeting, and you will find out that your not so bad, there is always someone else worse off than you are.

Just for today, I will take care of myself. I am going to go back to bed and catch you all later.

Just for today, I will share with others. I made it to a NA meeting tonight and asked, "Did you miss me?" I felt guilty for being away so long. Apparently two of the members had just discussed my absence wondering where I had gotten to.

Last week when I wanted to go, I found out that Darts had put my rides on hold. I had to phone in and get the schedule reinstated. I still have been given an okay for Sunday. I had cancelled the rides after my fall, even tonight when the driver hit some bumps, not too carefully, my ribs and back hurt. So again it is acceptance of what is and do what you can with what you are given.

Just for today, I will pray for patience and tolerance. I keep looking at the clock and the hands aren't moving fast enough. I don't do mornings well, and today I got up at >7:30 a.m. zo you know why I am praying. I have an appointment at 3 p.m. and then I can come home and crash.

Just for today, I am going to practice self care. I have a headache that is trying to tell me it is a migraine, and I am ignoring it. I don't think I will be going outside, but I think I will look for the bed I missed out on last night by sleeping in my chair.

This card gives a great message. Mine feels like it is gounded.
