Thought For Day 1

Since I inadvertently forgot our southern hemisphere friends in my monthly calendar calculation (due to my left hemisphere trauma) I will post the thought for Oct 1st.

Live this day
Do not merely hope to live, someday, somehow. Open yourself to the beauty and goodness of this moment, and live this day.
Let go of worries and fantasies about what might or might not be. Focus the full energy of your spirit on what is real and what is now, and live this day.

Put your most treasured dreams and values into action right now. Here is where you can really do what you've always been longing to do.

Now is when you can let yourself feel the way you truly wish to feel. See that there is nothing standing in the way of you filling the world with your own special joy.

This is the day that belongs to you. This is the time when you can do anything, and make a real difference.

A lifetime of experience has perfectly prepared you for where you are right now. Live this day, and fulfill the possibilities of your own miraculous existence.

Happy Oct.1st everyone.
"See that there is nothing standing in the way of you filling the world with your own special joy. "
Now there's a novel idea!
Thank you Techie for reminding me.
It just makes me feel happy to say the word....Joy!
Now back to bed for a little shut eye... I hope!

Yep, I'm definitely in too. Need all the help I can get. The Al brain convinced me to drink last night (only 3 units) based on the knowledge there would be October threads I'd be joining so this was the last time I'd be drinking. Need to practise not listening to Al Braintalk.

Happy October!
I have a wedding to go to on the 9th (my co-worker) and everyone is already talking about how much they're going to drink. I am actually looking forward to sitting back and watching them make fools of themselves. LOL I plan to take my small iPod and catch them on video. :H
Well here we go, a fresh month and a chance to make a new start. For anyone struggling, please keep checking in, we're here to support you.
I have a B-day coming up this month too. I'll finally be 29.

Thought For Day 2

A moment at a time
You can accomplish great things, yet you must always do it one moment at a time. Today is filled with a wealth of those moments.
Great value is created steadily and diligently, one moment at a time. Live with respect and appreciation for each small moment, and that value will be yours.

If you fill a moment with resentment, nothing of value will come of it. If you hurry through the moment, anxious about what is next, you'll leave behind the opportunity you could have had to make a difference.

You can easily stay focused, you can easily persist, and you can easily stay positive for just one small moment. And when that beautiful, effective moment is over, you'll be ready and willing to do it all again.

In the confines of a single moment, what possible place could there be for worry or despair? After all, it's just a moment, it's yours to use, and while you have it you can take a few positive steps forward.

Pour the fullness of your love and positive purpose into each little moment. By calmly and positively living a moment at a time, you'll bring your true greatness to life.
