Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Dear Abby's wise New Year Resolutions Just for today, I will live through this day only, and not setfar-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 Lincolnsaid, "Most folks are about as happy as they makeup their minds to be". He was right. I will notdwell 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 thingsthat I can correct and accept those I cannot.Just for today, I will improve my mind. I will notbe a mental loafer. I will force myself to readsomething that requires effort, thought, and concentration.Just for today, I will do something positive to improve my health. If I'm a smoker, I'll makean honest effort to quit. If I'm overweight,I'll eat nothing I know to be fattening and I'll force myself to exercise ~ even if it'sonly walking around the block or using thestairs 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 anybodyexcept 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 celebratemany more happy new years.Just for today, I will have a program. I may notfollow 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 whatis right and take the responsibility for my own actions.
