Dear Ladies: (And by looking at your signatures I am assuming you are all ladies
)
Thanks so much for coming and reading my works. I have learned that if you are going to live a life of Zen you must become Zen within yourself first.
I learned that is only when you accept everything about yourself: the positive, the negative, the battles with chronic illnesses that when you find peace within yourself as you battle the days with a Higher Power, you battle the negativeness that you experience on the outside, and it is much easier to do it in a peaceful state than in a state of resentment and anger. I say the REAL Serenity Prayer a lot during my days; yet, sometimes when I deal with adminstration, public, and even family and friends, I often repeat my private Serentity Prayer to connect with myself again.
It is a selfish program to be used in a positive selfish way: not the memememe IwantIneed, but the I and where am I at this point with my Higher Power and can I deal with this in a positive way with positive outcomes? If a negative thouight appears during this process of thinking for me, I abort the situation.
Maybe that is why I have beat the odds with my chronic illnesses, or is it just my fate?
