WELCOME to WEDNESDAY JULY 15, 2020
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 WONDERFUL
WEDNESDAY people, stay safe, and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up!
Peace, I am outta here! Eucman!

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes….
Having grown up just outside New York City, I barely knew a cow from an ear of corn.
Until, that is, I married a small-town Ohio girl. While I was in seminary school, I had a
temporary assignment at a church in a rural community. The day of my first sermon,
temporary assignment at a church in a rural community. The day of my first sermon,
I tried very hard to fit in. Maybe too hard. With my wife sitting in the first pew, I began
my discourse: “I never saw a cow until I met my wife.”😱😳😁😎

Tuesday’s Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from??? ”
“There are inmates and there are convicts. A convict has a certain code. And he knows to show a certain respect. An inmate, on the other hand, pulls the pin on his fellow man. Does the guard’s work for them. Brings shame to the game. So, which are you gonna be?”
Answer: The Chronicles of Riddick
‘The Chronicles of Riddick’ was released in 2004 and is a continuation of ‘Pitch Black’, a sci-fi movie released in 2000. It stars Vin Diesel as Riddick. He has been captured and taken to a prison planet. One of the inmates asks Riddick if he knows the difference between inmates and convicts. The quote stuck with me because it seemed interesting that even prisons (futuristic ones, at that) have a code by which they exist.
