NYR -Acceptance

My current practice is acceptance.

Anything can happen at any time.

I’m pretty sure this is one of those facts of nature, right up there with nothing is ever created or destroyed, and what goes up must come down.

And I’m pretty sure there isn’t much of anything at all I can do about it.

It’s easier to accept when things are going well, and more of a challenge to practice when they are not.

Acceptance  is possible, no matter how scary, painful or hopeless the situation seems.

Practicing acceptance means I understand that I might not be able to see the big picture; might not be able to comprehend every possible solution or outcome.
It doesnt mean I do nothing, in the face of evil, and it does give me strength to get to the right actions I might need to take.
Trusting in divine order, and god's time makes acceptance of all things possible, and it takes practice.

I’ve had a lot of practice recently.
Events beyond my control, have led me to accept I need assistance to move beyond the symptoms of acute trauma I see in myself, and those around me-human, animal and mineral.

I’m thankful for help that is freely given, and am learning, acceptance of help, is part of the balance of giving and receiving.

I’m clear, part of my mission, right now, is to live in witness to god's unconditional, compassionate love, and be living witness to how we can live to be a comfort to ourselves and to others.
Rereading that it sounds so serious-  part of my mission, always is to have fun, sing and dance and laugh a lot!

I’d love to hear your thoughts on acceptance, recent trauma relief, and whatever is on your mind in this new year.
