Just for today challenge, you up for it?


((friends)))

I see a lot of hurt and pain on the board lately so I had an idea. Take what you like and leave the rest. I have a challenge for everyone.

Just for today...
Be the person you want to be, no baggage, strong and solid. See and BE that person.

Envision and act joyous and carefree.

Know in your hearts that "This too shall pass" (and think as if it has), it's just a place in your journey.

Be happy and don't let ANYTHING bring you down. Let problems bounce off you, just for today.

If today has started badly, STOP...... start over, right here, right now.

This has worked for me over and over again. There were times I had to check myself ... stop ...and start 3-4x a day, but it's always better then the alternative. Let me know how you do.

I challenge you all to have a ding dong diggety day :)

Christy

Upward and Onward soldiers!!!!  Yes, yes yes I am game for beginning again.  New attitude, new day.  Thanks for the positive wonderful post.


Nothing can bother me today.  There is too much to be grateful for.  We are alive, aren't we?  We have legs, arms, eyes to see.  Hands to write, minds to think.... we are okay!!!! 


Love, HeidiXXXX

Thanks for your inspiring challenge Christy.    Unfortunately ! I got in here at the end of the day, so I am going to give it a run tomorrow.    Just think, I can sort things out in my dreams tonight and tomorrow wake up with a bright idea, heh heh, a bright idea of who I want to be today.....ahh...free from care, physically strong, and happy. ...........


Your friend, Mspeewee

Thanks Christy. Got game! I am so competitive even in my old age. Yes I will take the challenge tomorrow. Weekends are hardest for me. But it is what I need to do to stay off my pity potty.


In support,


Nancy

Thank you!  I really needed to hear that this morning.  I am feeling crappy still from surgery and I am missing my daughter and tired of laying in bed to avoid pain.   As always you are such an inspiration!


 


Much happiness to you!

It turned out to be an easy day, even pleasant.   I didn't know I was that far gone!!! because it took Effort , really !


Also, I was able to relax more than usual.    So thanks for the challenge.    Gotta do that more often, eh.

What a great idea! Wish I had seen this before I went to work! What a day. All in one.

However I came home, hubby was grumpy and I was too. We started to get on each other nerves, but we told each other that we were grumpy and we didn't mean to take it out on each other. Then the dryer wouldn't work, and I almost dropped dinner on the floor. Okay, maybe I should have just gone to All of a sudden he came into the kitchen and kissed me! "What was that for?" I asked. He said "Let's start the night all over again."

That's all it took. Someone to remind me that we can start all over again. You and hubby are 2 great minds, that think alike. Thanks for the reminder.

Love and blessings to you and the family.

Live strong,
Karilynn & Piper Kitty
