A is for Acceptance. When I have acceptance, I can live in the moment with a sense of serenity and peace. That doesn't mean I have to like it, I just have to accept what is and know it is subject to change.

F is for .... "First Things First."
Putting first things first in troubled times means finding whatever way I can to set aside my burdens, even if just for a moment, to make time for myself.

N is for No. I am given freedom of choice. When I surrender, I am given the empowerment to make the decision and not have to justify or qualify for having made the statement. No is a complete sentence.

Q is for quirks. I can accept that another person's behavior that seems strange to me is just the way they are and has nothing to do with me.

R is for ... Reaching out
You are born, you live , you die. But when you reach out and touch the heart of another you will be remembered. Your legacy is not found in the material wealth that you left behind , but in how you made another person feel.
