acceptance Day 22

 It has been interesting this week.  The new program at work still does not work right. It stopped working twice on my shift. I thought I was working on patience but what I needed to work on was acceptance. I had to accept that I could not fix it, tell the right people about it, and let it go.I managed to do that and it made a big difference in my attitude.I am going to Portland for a conference tomorrow .It will be all day work shops.I am looking forward to it. I am also looking forward to coming home and logging in here .Laughing

Acceptance

Axxeptance for me includes patience, that is not complaining and taking a good attitude, whether  things work out or not, whether its a thing or person or a new computerised system that does not work right (that's pretty much all of them) know the feeling so well, come back old system all is forgiven.

How you respond is the key, be calm or slam the door, calm calm calm.

You are so right!

 

I thought that, throughout my lifetime, I'd learned a lot about the importance of acceptance.   The last while, I've learned more about acceptance than I ever thought possible - about accepting what is and what must be and what amount of control I have over anything.  It's been a humbling experience.  I hope I am the wiser for it.

 

I wish you well.  Enjoy Portland.
