DEAR ABBY’S NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS

Just for today, I will live through this day only, and not set far-reaching goals to try to overcome all my problems at once. I know I can do something for 24 hours that would overwhelm me if I thought I had to keep it up for a lifetime.

Just for today, I will be happy. Abraham Lincoln said, "Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be". He was right. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me. I will chase them out of my mind and replace them with happy thoughts.

Just for today, I will adjust myself to what is. I will face reality. I will correct those things that I can correct and accept those I cannot.

Just for today, I will improve my mind. I will not be a mental loafer. I will force myself to read something that requires effort, thought, and concentration.

Just for today, I will do something positive to improve my health. If I'm overweight, I'll eat nothing I know to be fattening and I'll force myself to exercise ~ even if it's only walking around the block or using the stairs instead of the elevator.

Just for today, I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I will look as good as I can, dress becomingly, speak softly, act courteously, and not interrupt when someone else is talking.

Just for today, I'll try not to improve anybody except myself. We know so much more about nutrition and how much exercise and sensible living can extend life and make it more enjoyable; so just for today, I'll take good care of my body so I can celebrate many more happy new years.

Just for today, I will have a program. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it, thereby saving myself from two pests: hurry and indecision.

Just for today, I will gather the courage to do what is right and take the responsibility for my own actions.

GOOD MORNING

The New Year is just around the bend and I know lots of us try to make resolutions for improving ourselves. Lately I’ve noticed that there are more and more ways people are using to look younger and feel better.

I’m getting older day by day, but I no longer wish to look 10 years younger . My self-improvement methods are things like bible study and prayer and going to church on Sundays for weekly does of R&R

Health food and diets are the least of my concerns. At my age, some would say they know all they need to know, but I find the older I get the less I know.

TGIF – I’m so thankful it is Friday. Hopefully the next 3 days won’t be too hectic as I’m already dreading Tuesday when I have to go back to work.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Do not set your goals by what other people deem important. Only God knows what is best for you.

May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart

Peace dear friends,

Christmas love with out end.

MA
