Just for Today………….
Just for today I will be happy. This assumes what Abraham Lincoln said is true: “Most folks are about as happy as they make their mind up to be.” Happiness comes from within; it is not a matter of externals.
_______________________________________________________
Just for today I will try to adjust myself to what is; not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my family, my business, and my luck as they come and fit myself to them.
_______________________________________________________
Just for today I will take care of my body. I will exercise it, care for it, nourish it, not abuse or neglect it, so that it will be a perfect machine for my bidding.
_______________________________________________________
Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. 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 someone a good turn and not get found out. I will do at least two chores I don’t want to do, as William James suggests, just for exercise.
_______________________________________________________
Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, speak diplomatically, act courteously, be liberal with praise, criticize not at all, nor find fault with anything, and not try to regulate or improve anyone.
_______________________________________________________
Just for today I will try to live through this day only, not tackle my whole life problem at once.
_______________________________________________________
I can do things for twelve hours that would appall me if I had to keep them up for a lifetime.
_______________________________________________________
Just for today I will have a program. I will write down what I expect to do every hour. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. It will eliminate two pests: hurrying and indecision.
_______________________________________________________
Just for today I will have a quiet half hour by myself and relax and
get a little more perspective into my life.
_______________________________________________________
Just for today I will be unafraid. Particularly, I will be unafraid to be happy;
to enjoy what is beautiful; to love; and to believe that those I love, love me.

“If you are still talking about what you did yesterday, you haven’t done much today.”
_______________________________________________________
Hey I’m just saying! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a
great Monday people and whatever you do, don’t forget
to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman!

protects you from drowning, and the bullet-proof vest protects
you from getting shot and the sweater vest protects you from girls.” -Demetri Martin

from my neck. Do NOT go see Dr. Acula!” -Mitch Hedberg

“Women now have choices. They can be married, not married,
have a job, not have a job, be married with children, un-
married with children. Men have the same choice we’ve
always had: work or prison.” -Tim Allen

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes….
I’m the postmaster for a small town in Pennsylvania. One of my regular customers, Jeff,
bought several sheets of newly released commemorative stamps. Soon after he left, a
woman came in carrying two crisp sheets of Harry Houdini stamps she’d found in the
parking lot. The next morning, I gave Jeff the sheets of stamps he’d lost. “You know,”
Jeff said to me, “I’m not at all that surprised the Houdini stamps reappeared.” 😳😁

Friday’s Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from??? ”
“I am big. It’s the movies that got small.”
Answer: “Sunset Boulevard”
Billy Wilder directed the film noir “Sunset Boulevard”, a 1950 movie with William Holden as Joe Gillis and Erich von Stroheim as Max Von Mayerling. The film is narrated by Joe Gillis, but he is already dead and floating face down in a pool. Norma Desmond is a fading star trying to make a comeback in movies, and she says this to screenwriter Gillis when she first meets him. Gloria Swanson (1899-1983) starred in dozens of silent films, many directed by Cecil B. DeMille. Her first ‘talkie’ was “The Trespasser” in 1929, about a humble woman who marries a rich man. Swanson was nominated for an Academy Award in the first year the Oscars were given out.
