Just for Today

I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle all of my problems 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.

Al-Anon

Yep. That's what Flylady says! And a day off here and there to just relax doesn't hurt either. ;)

That's how I feel about breathing. And sometimes I do that for 15 or 16 hours a day.

Thursday's Child,
So I quoted Flylady quoting Al-Anon?
Cool.

That flylady is something else isn't she?? Even though she advocates working hard, which I try to avoid.

Just keep on breathing, babe. Just for today.

Ha! I'v read Fly Lady. I've never been very good about getting dressed first thing in the morning as soon as I get out of bed which is her first rule, I think.

I am proud that I put together a binder and I actually used it (for a while). :) The section for Christmas card addresses and is nice to have.

Does anyone actually wash her kitchen sink first thing in the morning? I'd love to know!

Lord, I offer you my prayers, works, joys and SUFFERINGS of this day, in union with the Church throughout the world.

(It seems to work.)

Janet- I scrub my sink after doing the supper dishes. Unless I do something with raw meat or chicken and then I clean the sink after that. Never know when I might put something in the sink later that I want to use again. Don't want to do that with raw meat having been in there without cleaning it.
