Acceptance is the one thing I get stuck on. So I bought myself a necklace, three silver rings on a silver chain, each ring etched with a reminder. Serenity. Wisdom. Courage. Every time I fiddle with it, I am reminded. So true. Acceptance is the one thing I get stuck on. So I bought myself a necklace, three silver rings on a silver chain, each ring etched with a reminder.

Along the same line is a Brennan Manning quote - the entire quote is on this post on my blog: http://fromthefrontporch.com/WPBlog/?cat=16 However, the words that are my mantra lately are at the end: "Let go in reckless confidence all that shackles you to yesterday, imprisons you in your own small self today and frightens you with the uncertainty of tomorrow." When I find myself strangled from acting or going forward by fear, I recite "Let go in reckless confidence" and I look at those "27 words". As you said - wise words.

This has been my study for years, but I'm a slow study. It's like being born, every time I get stuck. “I know it is easy to spend years dangling between resentment and fear, but more is required from us…It is only when we begin to calmly sit and look at our choices and to act wisely, that we can heal and become whole people.” This has been my study for years, but I’m a slow study.
