Just For Today

When I wake up in the morning a say to myself  "I will live just for today."  I will not live for tomorrow, a week, or a month.  It gets to difficult and overwhelming to live in the future.  If I live just for today then that is a manageable way to live.  I can handle what happens today but I cannot handle living way in the future.

When I wake up in the morning I plan out my whole day.  I carefully plan out everything I am going to do that day and just do it one thing at a time until everything is accomplished for that day.

It is also easier to work on my recovery one day at a time.  I need just to do those things pertaining to my recovery today which makes things a lot easier at accomplishing my goals and objectives for my recovery.  It is too hard to work on my recovery for the next week, month, or year.  I can be successful in my recovery just for today.

If I live just for today I will be successful at achieving all my goals and objectives and live a life of meaning, purpose, and be a productive member of society.  I will succeed just for today.

What is Walk the World for Schizophrenia?

Someone by the name of Jen Daisybee left a comment on my posting with the photos of Walk the World For Schizophrenia.  She asked me what Walk the World For Schizophrenia was.

Walk the World For Schizophrenia is an annual fund raising event we hold once a year in October.  People go around with pledge sheets and collect money for our local chapter of the Schizophrenia Society.  We hold the walk in Wolfville.  We walked from Robie Tufts Park down to Main Street, we walked down Main Street to the turn off to the Information Centre, turned around and walked back on Main Street then down past the Park again to the Lions Hall.  At the Lions Hall we gathered for good food, music from a live band, and we had draws for prizes.

We did not do as well this year as we did last year but every little bit helps.
