Well, it has been 10 days since Keith left. I miss him and I am sure that Sophie and Punkin do. They have been coming out to see me more and staying close to me, which probably helps them and me also. You don't spend every day with someone for 5 years + and not miss them when they are gone. I haven't heard from him and I know how stubborn he can be, so I am just moving forward and making it through today. So I am posting my Just for Today saying that I got from Dear Abby, which she posts on New Year's Day every year. I will try to live my life like this as best as I can. I do not know what will happen to Keith and me in the future, but I can make it through today with God's help. My friends and family are my strength. When ever I feel down, I look at Anna on Jen's blog and play the video of her talking and it makes me smile. I have such a great family and I am so blessed to have the wonderful children that I have. Michael and Jennifer are coming over tonight to help me with the TV after the lightning took out the old ones. It will make my day much brighter to see them. I am thankful that both my children married or will soon marry wonderful spouses! I couldn't ask for a better son-in-law or daughter-in-law! I makes me happy to know that my children are happy. When I think about Keith being gone, I am sad. I wish he could understand my feelings but I am sure he doesn't understand my concerns about him. But even though I am sad, I am keeping my head up and smiling. We all only have today, we are not guarranteed tomorrow. I will follow the plan in Just for Today and be happy for all that I have and not be sad.
Just for Today
v Just for today, I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set far-reaching goals or try to overcome all of my problems. I know I can do something for 24 hours that would overwhelm me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
v Just for today, I will be happy. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me.
v Just for today, I will accept what is. I will face reality. I will correct things I can correct and accept those I cannot.
v Just for today, I will improve my mind. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
v Just for today, I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I will be kind and courteous to those who cross my path, and I will not speak ill of others. I’ll improve my appearance, speak softly and not interrupt when someone else is talking. I’ll refrain from improving anybody but myself.
v Just for today, I will do something positive to improve my health. If I am a smoker, I’ll quit. If I’m overweight, I’ll eat healthily-if only for today. And just for today, I’ll get off the couch and take a brisk walk, even if it is only around the block.
v Just for today, I will gather the courage to do what is right and take responsibility for my actions.
