I've just had to accept that the birthday party for my 2-year old granddaughter has to be postponed again this year because she and her big sister and mom are all sick. The same thing happened last year. Accepting that kids get sick and plans have to be changed is one of those facts of life that gets thrown at you time and time again. So it really does make sense to just surrender instead of being upset. How timely!

Next step is meet with surgeon and schedule surgery to take clear margins and visually view the field. The prayer is that the pathology under the microscope will show no cancer cells!

I book entertainment and several of my corporate clients have canceled events,due to the economy. Rather than be in a "funk," I need to accept reality as it is, be content with reality as it is, be optomistic, adapt, and be ready to move, when times change. Hi, Mike:

I especially like that you share your own resistance to acceptance and the reasoning behind it. This is something I need to learn and now I can bring it into conscious effort. Your girls are darling. Kudos to you and your wife for good parenting. Best, -jan Mike–

It was so interesting to see this message this morning. I was actually thinking about acceptance last night. I have been frustrated with the actions of some of my friends lately as they are very difficult to make plans with. I started to take it personally and get a little upset. Then last night I thought, I am just going to accept them as they are and know that they are just busy and this is not a reflection on me. It made me feel a lot better once I accepted it. Your message today made that even clearer. Thanks for your help! Jessica Hi Mike!
