Dear HP,
Even
I can see the message you want me to get, the lesson you want me to work on. Everywhere I go, every thing I read, has been about acceptance.
Acceptance does not mean we're giving our approval. It does not mean surrendering to the will and plans of another. It does not mean commitment. It is not forever. It is for the present moment. Acceptance does not make things harder; it makes things easier. Acceptance does not mean we accept abuse or mistreatment; it does not mean we forego boundaries, our hopes, dreams, desires, wants, or ourselves. It means we accept what is, so we know what to do to take care of ourselves and what boundaries we need to set. It means we accept what is and who we are at the moment, so we are free to change and grow
I want to change and grow, I have been working towards that. Perhaps I need to work on accepting what is and who I am at the moment so that I can then be free to move foward!
Thank you Ann. As always, you are a wonderful messenger.
Hugs
Cat
