I got this in my e-mail today and thought I would pass it along....
"I can change only myself, but sometimes that is
enough."
--Ruth Humlecker
Happiness is more fleeting for some of us than for
others. We may ponder this notion but fail to grasp
the reason. However, careful attention to how "the
happy ones" go through life will enlighten us. We
will note how seldom they complain about others'
actions. We will discover their willingness to accept
others as they are. We will see that their attention is
generally on the positive aspects of people and
circumstances rather than on the negative.
We can join the parade of "happy ones" by letting
go of our need to change people and situations that
disturb us. Even when we are certain other people
are wrong, we can let go of controlling them. Doing
this means changing ourselves, of course. But this is
the one thing in life we do have control over.
I will change myself if I think something needs
changing today!
Hang in there peace...your hubby sounds so much like mine was at first...with the proper help he can recover but it's up to him.
Love and serenity,
Vicki
