I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I felt that I had to keep it up for a lifetime.<br /><br />Just for today I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said, that "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be."<br /><br />Just for today I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires, I will take my "luck" as it comes, and fit myself to it.<br /><br />Just for today I will try to 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.<br /><br />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 a least two things I don't want to 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.<br /><br />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 to improve or regulate anybody but myself.<br /><br />Just for today I will have a program. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision.<br /><br />Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself, and relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life.<br />Just for today I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/801761194916380123-4824510900438168317?l=my-simple-thoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>simple guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12659286431089726128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801761194916380123.post-26265664701860067602006-12-03T07:45:00.000-08:002006-12-03T07:47:59.788-08:00This is my first post.<br />Welcome to all.<br /><br />Check this space for my thoughts, my stories, and me :)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/801761194916380123-2626566470186006760?l=my-simple-thoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>simple guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12659286431089726128noreply@blogger.com0
