WELCOME everyone!
Due to a technology issue, the forum has been behaving oddly.
Our member "Lucky" suggested using this MARCH 17th thread for our ongoing "DAILY" check-in posts, because it's available. (Due to the tech glitch, none of us is able to change the name of this thread).

"My boundaries enclose a pleasant land." Psalm 16

Already been a fairly long and slightly productive day - Step 11 felt so right-on this morning, encouraging me to accept interruptions as being from my Higher Power so I don't become all scattered and panicky when they occur. If interruptions (the kind over which I have no control) mean I don't accomplish EVERY task today, oh well. Isn't that what I signed up for in Step 3?

And as if to prove the point, my neighbor stopped by for a chat, while I was heavy into a particular task that I really want to finish. I resisted the temptation to blow her off and I'm so glad, because she eventually warmed up to asking me for help getting into 12 Step recovery! Holy Cow, what if I'd insisted on getting MY tasks done instead of being open to this?!

Granted this can be a slippery slope unless I'm rigorously honest with myself about the source of the interruption.  Is it my impulsivity, obsessiveness, or compulsive avoidance? If not, then I want to consider it might be God, asking me to do a favor for Him or His kids. And I really do love it when that happens (despite the mild annoyance that is just my dis-eased self-will).

So in what remains of the day, I hope to still make headway on these tasks:
- ACT to ensure my healthcare coverage is in place by Oct. 1
- Complete the ENT's online registration
- Pay some bills
- Note to self for tomorrow: schedule derm, mam, bone density
-Prep for J's 2 doc appts tomorrow
-petcare
-AA mtg

Great to see some familiar usernames still here, hello good friends!  And hi to others I haven't yet met. I'm a longtimer, currently a PA "retread" after lapsing for a few years - I don't recommend that! PA really helped me for many years - through 6 years of backlogged tax filings, long-distance parental caregiving, loss of both parents, supporting a chronically ill spouse, high-responsibility jobs ... and now I've recently retired to provide FT caregiving for my very ill husband.  Given my PA lapse, I'll be addressing backlogs today, with God's help.

DONE! Maintain my own recovery efforts

DONE! Request homecare help for shower chair, grips, etc

DONE! Maintain J's daily care log

DONE! Charity minutes

DONE! Request estimate on RV storage

CHECKOUT: can't help noticing I avoid the backlogs again today by staying very busy doing everything else. But I can feel good that I logged in, made a list, tracked progress, and kept up with emerging issues throughout the day. J did not have any crises, and I am not completely exhausted. THAT is progress, thanks be to God!

  Just for today I will have a plan, i MAY NOT FOLLOW IT EXACTLY, BUT I WILL HAVE A PLAN.

ONE DAY AT A TIME
Just for today I will try to live through this day only.  I will not think about the future.  I know I can get through just one day.
Just for today if I feel angry I will find a safe way to express it.  I may scream and beat a pillow, but I will not hurt anyone.
Just for today I will remember the good things and let go of blame and regret because no one can change the past.
Just for today I will have a plan to fill the time.  I will avoid idle hours which can lead to depression and despair.
Just for today I will set aside some time to relax and I will plan a short-term goal to work toward.
Just for today I will have hope that life will get better because love never dies and love can sustain us through the most painful tragedies.
Just for today I will go unafraid.  Especially, I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful because my life must go on.
Just for today I will have faith that even though life is not always fair, it is still worth living.  In time, with faith and the grace of God, I will find new meaning in my life.
