Dear Caileesnana,

Thank you so much for posting this. I am definitely going to print it out! Each day I am learning how true those statements are. The ones I have been trying to apply most recently are:

- is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands.
- is not to try to change or blame another, it is to make the most of myself.
- is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.
- is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to effect their own destinies.
- is not to be protective, it is to permit another to face reality.
Hopefully as I apply them over and over again they will just naturally become who I am.

Thanks again,

Lithloren
