Just for today

Once again my husband isn't speaking to me. I didn't go to the State Fair yesterday because the arthritis in my back had flared up so badly I couldn't walk without pain. But I refuse to let this upset me. Just for today I will relax and read if I'm in pain. Just for today I will lavish attention on my dog and cat who love me unconditionally. Just for today I will only take care of myself. When tomorrow comes I will see how I feel. Until then I will live one minute, or hour, or day at a time.

Tell your 'orrible 'usband to sling his hook. Have a great day my friend and enjoy your peace. Remember you have a right to put yourself and your own needs first when required.

Your way of expressing yourself tickled my funny bone. Like 'enry 'iggins from My Fair Lady!

Just for today , one day at a time is also repeated in the rooms of AA. A person doesn’t have to be alcoholic to receive their benefits. Those words help me reduce the stress of life. I hope they help you, too, Mrspjsmom. ☺️

Frankly Mrspjsmom I would not stir out even if I had a minor cold, never mind excruciating pain.

You are right to look after you!

Thank you everyone. I have struggled my entire life at putting myself first. At 57 years old it's time to start doing that.

I'm sorry he seems to be pouting. We can only do what our physical limitations allow. Good for you for knowing your limits. I would consider his not speaking to you as time to enjoy your pet cuddles and reading while relieving your pain. One minute, hour, or day at a time is all any one can do. Prayers for relief, and understanding from your husband with your physical limitations.
