I'm really dealing with a lot of acceptance and my will of I don't wanna at the moment. I am in fight mode .. not sure why I have felt off this past week .. which usually indicates some kind of rabbit hole of growth. Sometimes I hate being Alice as I never feel like I know where I will wind up .. will I chase the white rabbit or will I just kind of wind up trying to figure out if I will shrink or grow. Not meaning any kind of drug reference by the way .. lol .. seriously speaking sometimes it would be easier to live in an alternate universe.
An odd note we actually have had about 4 earth quakes run right near where I work and the first 3 I didn't feel the last one I did .. that was interesting. I haven't felt one of those for a LONG time. I guess the good news is I'm not feeling hyper sensitive about any one thing .. I do feel like my idiot of an X is up to something .. however nothing new there. I'm in a more will be revealed mode. I do have some things I have to take care of and I'm sure that has me on edge at the moment.
There is just never enough time in the day and I am so grateful when there is an extra pair of hands helping. It's easy to get spoiled pretty quickly. Especially after so many years of no hands .. lol.
I'm just ruminating at the moment .. lol .. funny what gets me thinking.
Hugs S :)

((Serenity)) Acceptance is the key. I have often found it difficult to get there. Needing to go through awareness and then sit in acceptance before taking action was hard fr me. reciting the serenity prayer helped. Sending positive thoughtss and prayers your way.
Great topic for me this morning.....I am not exactly sure why but acceptance is easier some days than others. I suspect I can be easily set 'off-track' by gloomy weather as I can by gloomy news. My mind knows that acceptance is the answer yet I can still get squirley....
My only known recourse when I am facing uncertainty, fear, lack of acceptance is prayer, meditation and program tools. Sometimes it passes quickly and sometimes it does not. I do know that it will pass if I focus on doing the next right thing!!

You just want to go through life happy and at peace. I don't want to deal with acceptance sometimes but guess what...it's not going to go away so like everyone we deal with it in our own way and seek ESH when we are overwhelmed by it.
Do you live in California or Oklahoma? I went though some very big earthquakes back in the day in CA
