Spiritual Quotation Welcome to a new day! when monday comes, it's nice to start the week as calmly as we can, with the knowledge that we can only do so much this week, so we must do what we can as well as we can. there's no real need to stress ourselves out about the coming days, because we only should expect of ourselves that we do our best in all we do-perfection is not required. here in the states, this is the week of thanksgiving, one of the most important holidays ever invented. please enjoy it! Here's our quotation: God has so ordered, that in pressing on in duty we shall find the truest, richest comfort for ourselves. Sitting down to brood over our sorrows, the darkness deepens about us and creeps into our heart, and our strength changes to weakness. But, if we turn away from the gloom, and take up the tasks and duties to which God calls us, the light will come again, and we shall grow stronger. Lettie Cowman And our general quotation: Acceptance is not a talent you either have or don't have. It's a learned response. My meditation teacher made a great point about the difference between a reaction and a response: You may not have control over your initial reaction to something, but you can decide what your response will be. You don't have to be at the mercy of your emotions, and acceptance can be your first step toward empowerment . . . For me, acceptance has been the cornerstone to my having an emotionally healthy response to my illness.
