Acceptance in many ways

[Charlize]

I get these quotes every day and couldn't help seeing how it fits both my addiction and my trans* issues.

"Life's formidable array of pains and problems will require many different degrees of acceptance ... Sometimes, we have to find the right kind of acceptance for each day. Sometimes, we need to develop acceptance for what may come to pass tomorrow and, yet again, we shall have to accept a condition that may never change. Then, too, there frequently has to be a right and realistic acceptance of grievous flaws within ourselves and serious faults within those about us - defects that may not be fully remedied

This is so true, Charlize. Improving the things we can change and accepting

those we cannot makes for balanced living.

I got the courage to change the things I can, well then my Higher Power kind of ran away with me.

I hope he'll forgive me for playing with all the great new buttons he gave me. Drinking has nothing better to offer. Giggle. Clean and sober hug! JodyAnn
