D is for detaching with love. I can now stay out of thigns that are not mine to solve. I can allow others to make their own mistakes without haveing to fix them. I can have peace and serenity and not get sucked intot he chaos.
Detachment...priceless.

E is for Easy Does It. The key word for me was "But do it!" It is easy to let things slip by for me and I tend toward procrastination. There is not too many musts in my world. There is the opportunity to have a second chance at life. I no longer just exist, I take part in life.

Q is for Quit
Don't Quit
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest! if you must; but don't you QUIT.

R is for Rest. It is important to rest the body and mind. I was always told I needed to be busy and reminded that the devil makes work for idle hands. It is good to just rest and just be and just do what comes along and is in front of me; sometimes putting it on a shelf until such a time as it is good for me.
