[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 617172, member: 13542"] [I][COLOR=#5900b3]"True power lies in flexibility, in present moment engagement, in coming into every opportunity with our eyes open and our senses of playfulness and curiosity and integrity and sanctity fully engaged. Happy? Sad? Right? Wrong? It's all a question of perception. Change how we see, and the world changes. That you don't claim to know, that you are taking all this on (and it is a great, big, wonderful thing your granddaughter is doing) with your eyes open, that you are admitting frustration and happiness and need of an ally to validate reality is a triumph of the first order. Good, good, good for you and for me, Recovering! Trust that all things are working as they should, not just in times of uncertainty, but in all times. Remain present. That is all we have to do.
