Peace with the Past
Even God cannot change the past.
—Agathon
Today, I will begin being grateful for my past. I cannot change what happened, but I can transform the past by owning my power, now, to accept, heal, and learn from it.

Good morning! Thanks Jalla for the starter reminder. I do believe God's will for me today is to live serenely in grace, "taking, as You do, this broken world as it is (myself included) and not as I would have it, trusting that You will make all things right as I surrender myself to You...." (Serenity Prayer, long version). My best guess at Today's plan:

I had the horrors this morning when I found the site wasn't working. Went to the phone bridge for the first time ever and found out there's an alternative URL to use if that happens:
tinyurl.com/MUUo3o (those are small letter 'o's not zeroes)
I'm saving this somewhere off the site in case it happens again!
I'm making an innovation today - 'Often Tasks'. These are like daily tasks except you don't HAVE to do ALL of them daily (because I tend to get overwhelmed and rebellious if I give myself a list of compulsory daily tasks.) I'll be keeping track of which ones I do each day, and when I last did them.

The ’3Ts’ aka ’Timed Task Tomorrow’ method - 3 questions before doing something online:
Is it Timed (set a timer)? Is it a Task? If it's a sudden impulse, can I act on it Tomorrow?

Thanks for letting me share
I admit that I am
I admit that I am powerless over my procrastination and debt and that my life had become unmanageable. I came to believe that a Power greater than myself could restore me to sanity and I made a decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of God. I humbly ask God to remove my shortcomings. I pray constantly and unceasingly only for knowledge of God's will for me today and the power to carry that out.
Its not about the tasks - its about listening to the moment and going with the flow of the spirit - today.
Its not about the money, its about listening to the simplicity of need and contentment - today.
Just about to head off to work, last day of 8 with four days off. I'm exhausted and its been very stressful. Also just got some bad news wrt family member being sick. I'm disappointed in myself wrt my study. So thanks Jolla for the reminder for kindness. Have a great day everyone.
