[QUOTE="Kalahou, post: 677931, member: 19617"] Dear Copa, Your last posts showed some major and valuable insight. Your mini bio left me so thankful for your blessed life, and for the special relationship you had with your son. Realize my dear that every moment prepares for and builds to result in the next moment. I am coming to realize all in our lives is what it is, because it is as it should be. Believing this has brought me some peace to live with the attitude of gratitude and give thanks in ALL things (not just the good things), convinced that all things work together for good. A saying I heard about 50 years ago has stuck with me and often reminded me of the need to change myself. The quote is something like this …. “[I][U]If you cannot change what you see, then change how you see it…[/U][/I] “ This is not always an easy process. For myself, it has required me to change myself and my outlook in order to survive. “[I][U]Change me, make me new[/U][/I] “ became my mini-mantra. Much healing can be gained by acceptance and surrender. Eckhardt Tolle has this to say: "When you say "yes" to the "isness" of life, when you accept this moment as it is, you can feel a sense of spaciousness within you that is deeply peaceful." I was led today to look up the essay “[I]On Children[/I]” by Kahlil Gibran. This is some good wisdom to ponder. Some excerpts below: " Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. … And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. … For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. " … _________________________________ Take care, friend warrior. I am following your post, and send best thoughts for your quick health recovery, and for a newness of life in your spirits. Bless. ~ ~ Kalahou [/QUOTE]
