14. Staying in the present...today..

If the shit in the past, is unbearable..well, it is in the past..can you change it??? While we do plan for the future, those plans need not
overcome today. For, if tomorrows plans..overcome today, with worry, fear, indecision..then what can you do today?? ,
,,Today was an anniversery of sorts for me..a year ago, I had heart surgery...I have survived, but I had a lot to do today...like go to a couple of meetings, get ready for a trip that I am going on, call some people, etc. So, while the heart surgery went ok, other things in the last year did not..very bad...so what is it going to be..worry about that shit that went bad, or try to do what is important now...?? and it was very very hurtfull stuff, and very sad stuff about loved ones dieing...so what can I do to change that??

Cause I can get lost in yesterday, or...worry about tomorrow...and I have been lost in those to entites,,,but what good does that do??
That is what ...............try to stay in today....and...if those thoughts come up, and they do, then no beating myself over having those thoughts...they come up...try to change those thoughts, by using some techniques that work:..meditation...hot baths, quiet music, calling friends, watching happy tv...old comedies, ..exercize..walking...hobbies...etc..

.that is what..."one day at a time" means for me.....................Stuart
