The biggest rewards come to those who have the courage to accept the difficult tasks without complaint, to take risks, and to do the things that others find too uncomfortable.

If you want things in your life to change, you're going to have to change things in your life!!!


Things are never as difficult as you thought, once you get started!!

Just For Today

1.  Just for today I will be happy.  This assumes that what Abraham Lincoln said is true, that "most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."  Happiness is from within, it is not a matter of externals.

2.  Just for today I will try to adjust myself to what is, and 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.

3.  Just for today I will take care of my body.  I will exercise it, care for it, nourish it, not abuse it or neglect it, so that it will be a perfect machine for my bidding.

4.  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.

5.  Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways; I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out.  I will do at least two things I don't want to do, as William James suggests, just for exercise. 

6.  Just for today I will be agreeable.  I will look as well as I can, dress as becomingly as possible, talk low, act courteously, be liberal with praise, criticize not at all, nor find fault with anything and not try to regulate nor improve anyone.

7.  Just for today I will try to live through this only, not to 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.

8.  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.

9.  Just for today I will have a quiet half-hour all by myself and relax.  In this half-hour sometimes I will think of God, so as to get a little more perspective into my life.

10. Just for today I will be unafraid, especially I will not be afraid to be happy, to enjoy what is beautiful, to love, and to believe that those I love, love me.

Rudi's

Another school year has started.  I'm one of the moms that feel sad when school starts.  I don't like having my children gone.  I love having them home.  I know...I know...I'm not the norm.  lol  A lot does have to do with their allergies.  I have to worry about them eating something from someone else, playing with play-doh, fruit-loop necklaces, pasta drawings...etc.  I have to worry how they are going to feel when another kid brings in cupcakes for the class and my kids can't have one.  I don't want them picked on because they are different.

My kids are done with the candida cleanse.  They finished the day before school started.  They were so excited because they could add in bread.  That means sandwiches for school.  We are still not adding in sugar so we decided instead of jelly we would do a peanut butter and banana sandwich.  They love them.  I also found new bread at the store.  I haven't tried it yet since I am still on the cleanse but the kids absolutely love it!  The bread is gluten free and a lot of the ingredients are organic.  Also no sugar is in the bread which is a huge plus.  The bread is Rudi's.  It is soft and looks like regular wheat filled bread.   I'm super excited to try it in a couple weeks.   So this is what is in their lunch.  A sandwich, green beans, piece of fruit, and organic raisins.  They love it!
