Just For Today Poem
New Years Resolutions Pauline Phillips
I have always loved this bit of advice which actually comes from Dear Abby’s mother Pauline Phillips. She adapted this meditation from the original credo of Al-Anon. I read it when it appears in her column at the beginning of the year but then I tend to drift away from remembering what it said.

I just found a really great article on chair yoga. The article is written for people who work in an office setting.

The poses are not hard and you don’t have to be super flexible or in top physical condition to do them. In addition to helping your spine stay healthy these poses also lower stress levels.
