JUST FOR TODAY By Dear Abby<br />

This is one of the more popular requested columns from the famous advice columnist Dear Abby. Read<br />

on: “Today is the day we have an opportunity to discard destructive old habits for healthy new ones<br />

and with that in mind, I will share Dear Abby’s often-requested list of New Year’s Resolutions, which<br />

were adapted by my late mother, Pauline Phillips, from the original credo of Al-Anon:<br />

Just for today<br />

I will live through this day only. I will<br />

not brood about yesterday or obsess<br />

about tomorrow. I will not set far-reaching<br />

goals or try to overcome all of my<br />

problems at once. I know that I can<br />

do something for 24 hours that would<br />

overwhelm me if I had to keep it up for<br />

a lifetime.<br />

Just for today<br />

I will be happy. I will not dwell on<br />

thoughts that depress me. If my mind<br />

fills with clouds, I will chase them away<br />

and fill it with sunshine.<br />

Just for today<br />

I will refrain from improving anybody<br />

but myself.<br />

Just for today<br />

I will accept what is. I will face reality. I<br />

will correct those things that I can correct<br />

and accept those I cannot.<br />

Just for today<br />

I will improve my mind. I will read something<br />

that requires effort, thought and concentration.<br />

I will not be a mental loafer.<br />

Just for today<br />

I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I<br />

will be kind and courteous to those who cross<br />

my path and I’ll not speak ill of others. I will<br />

improve my appearance, speak softly and not<br />

interrupt when someone else is talking.<br />

Just for today<br />

I will gather the courage to do what is right and<br />

take responsibility for my own actions.<br />

Just for today<br />

I will do something positive to improve my<br />

health. If I’m a smoker, I’ll quit. If I am overweight,<br />

I will eat healthfully - if only just for today.<br />

And not only that, I will get off the couch<br />

and take a brisk walk, even if it’s only around<br />

the block.<br />

Glazed Apple<br />

Cream Pie<br />

INGREDIENTS:<br />

1/2 cup white sugar<br />

1/2 cup milk<br />

1/2 cup heavy cream<br />

1/4 cup butter<br />

2 tablespoons cornstarch<br />

2 tablespoons milk<br />

1 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />

2 tart apples - peeled, cored and sliced<br />

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour<br />

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon<br />

1 (15 ounce) package pastry for double-crust pie<br />

1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar<br />

1 tablespoon milk<br />

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />

1 tablespoon butter, softened<br />

DIRECTIONS:<br />

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup cream and 1/4 cup butter. Heat until butter is<br />

melted, stirring occasionally. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, 2 tablespoons milk and vanilla; stir into saucepan. Cook<br />

until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool slightly.<br />

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a medium bowl, combine the apples, flour and cinnamon. Mix well. Line a 9<br />

inch pie pan with pie dough. Pour thickened filling mixture into pastry-lined pie pan. Arrange apple mixture evenly over filling.<br />

Top with second crust, seal and flute the edges. Cut slits in top crust. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until crust is golden brown and<br />

apples are tender. Cool for at least 30 minutes.<br />

In small bowl, combine confectioners’ sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and 1 tablespoon softened butter. Blend until<br />

smooth; pour evenly over warm pie. Refrigerate for at least 1 1/2 hours before serving (longer is better). Source: allrecipes.com<br />
