:-)  Hello  Red  Hatters  :-)

I wanted 2 share the following "Slogans" ...

"Let go and let God"

"Easy does it"

"Live and let live"

"First things first"

"One day at a time"

"Keep it simple"

"Think"

"Listen and learn"

"How important is it?"

"Just for today"

"Keep an open mind"

"Let it begin with me"

:-)  Keep in touch  :-)

I wanted 2 share the following with you on "Resentment".

"If a sharp thorn or a splinter pierces my hand,

what do I do?  I remove it as quickly as I can.

Surely I wouldn't leave it there, hurting me, until

it festered and sent its infection throughout my

body.

Yet what do I do with the thorns of resentment

and hatred when they pierce my thoughts?  Do I

leave them there and watch them grow, while I

suffer increasingly from the pain?

True, resentment and hatred are more difficult

2 pull out of our thoughts than the physical

thorn from a finger, but so much depends upon it

that I will do my best 2 eliminate them, before

their poison can spread."

"Today's Reminder"

"If I really do not want 2 be hurt, and if I am sure

that self-pity isn't giving me a certain secret 

satisfaction, I will take all the steps necessary 2 free my mind

from painful thoughts and emotions.  The best way 2

do this is not by grimly exerting will power, but by

replacing those hurting ideas with thoughts of love and

gratitude."

"Thou has not half the power 2 do me

harm, as I have 2 be hurt"

(William Shakespeare, Othello)

:)  Hello  Red  Hatters  :)

"Just for today I will try 2 live through this day only, and not tackle all my problems at once.

I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I felt that I had 2 keep it up for a lifetime."

"Just for today I will be happy.

This assumes 2 be true what Abraham Lincoln said, that "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds 2 be.""

"Just for today I will adjust myself 2 what is, and not try 2 adjust everything 2 my own desires.

I will take my "luck" as it comes, and fit myself 2 it."

"Just for today I will try 2 strengthen my mind.

I will study.

I will learn something useful.

I will not be a mental loafer.

I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration."

"Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways: I will do somebody a good turn, and not get found out; if anybody knows of it, it will not count.

I will do at least 2 things I don't want 2 do -- just for exercise.

I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt; they may be hurt, but today I will not show it."

"Just for today I will be agreeable.

I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, keep my voice low, be courteous, criticize not one bit.

I won't find fault with anything, nor try 2 improve or regulate anybody but myself."

"Just for today I will have a program.

I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it.

I will save myself from 2 pests:  hurry and indecision."

"Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself, and relax.

During this half hour, sometime, I will try 2 get a better perspective of my life."

"Just for today I will be unafraid.

Especially I will not be afraid 2 enjoy what is beautiful, and 2 believe that as I give 2 the world, so the world will give 2 me."

"Prayer For Today"

"Lord make me an instrument of Thy peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light, and where there is sadness, joy."

"O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek 2 be consoled, as 2 console; 2 be understood as 2 understand; 2 be loved, as 2 love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born 2 eternal life."
