Today has already proved to be trying with the need to put my program into force. Three things were suppose to happen today but they didn't materialize and the people that were suppose to come today have all decided Thursday would be better.
I have left several messages about getting an apartment and the woman doesn't call me back. I was reminded that I am not suppose to 'make' things happen but go with the flow and things will be as they should if I do the footwork.

I've had some disappiontments and needed acceptance already today also. remember my PLAN to go to some aerobics classes at the gym this week while I am off on fall break? And my little accident with my sore foot? I went to one doctor yesterday and got x-rays andt hen to a specialist today. Good news? it's NOT broken. Bad news..it's badly sprained, bruised, jammed, etc. I cant wear regular shoes now for over a week. So there goes my PLAn to exercise more this week while I am off. And ti's cool outside..so wearing sandals looks silly. I went tot he dentist today and the girl even said..you need to put those sandals away now and get out warmer shoes.  I know. But that jsut cant happen for a couple of weeks. Thanks you for noticing that my bare toes are showing. Acceptance? Finding a suitable plan B....perhaps warm pool therapy? we'll see. LINDA |

Going thru daily living is full of acceptance and dissapointments.
I have been disappointed at how things are going with trying to get my step son back to reality with looking for a job and him not wanting to aprt with his multi pearcings. He thinks that we ae suppose to take it like he is.. but its very consuming to try to fight the fight to teach him otherwise.
Acceptance is knowing that he has to come to terms that he won't get a decent job unless he gives up these things that discrimates him down the road.

Got a phone call today to say that an apartment in First Place where I tried to move into before I came to this location may have something available for November 1st. Now I have to decide whether I want to stay here and wait for it to become available or move to the YWCA to be safe. I certainly don't want to move twice. I will know for sure by Friday, so again, it is liviing in the unknown, living in today. Acceptance of what is in the moment, and what is unfolding, trusting that more will be revealed.
One of the reasons that I had wanted to move into the YWCA was because of the pool and water aerobics. It helped me in the past, and it and the jacuzzi would make my life much less painful.

Is there a way to ahve both? Wait for the apartment so you can have your own place and privacy and such. And get a membreship at the Y for the therapy pool???
One thing i had to learn about acceptance..i dont have to LIKE IT or APPROVE IT to accept it.

How true my friend, I don't have to like it to accept it. I can join the Y any time. It is something that I have been procrastinating about for a while. Who says when I get the membership that I will have the energy to put it to use. Discipline is not one of my strong points. The mind is willing, but all too often, the flesh is weak.
