In the past, and sometimes even now, I automatically have thought, "Why me?", when I'm trying to learn that my first problem is to accept my present circumstances as they are, myself as I am, and the people around me as they are. I accept my powerlessness over people, places and things. Am I learning to accept life on life's terms?
Meditation for today
May I learn to control my urge to control, my compulsion to manage, neaten, organize and label the lives of others. May I learn to accept situations and people as they are instead of as I would like them to be. Thus, may I do away with the ongoing frustrations that a controlling person by nature, faces continually.

In response to: "Why me?"
Well,I have a tendency to ask that question when I am Facedown in a fresh Cowpie,and can't convince myself that what I am smelling is the Fragrance of Roses! But it eventually becomes sort of a learning experience:"When you stumble,don't do be in a Cowpasture!"

Thank you HJ, The world tends to go on whether we are here or not. As this is such a gloomy day I dressed myself in bright yellow to honor my daughter Brenda and to remind myself not to go back into that self pity mode. Look outside and see all the beauty the rain is bringing and the money I am saving by not having to run the AC. There is good in each day, I just have to open my eyes and my heart to accept it.
