the impossible

I think that I have fallen into an old trap.  I am trying to fix something that I have no control over.  I can do nothing to change people, they must change themselves.  Heck, maybe they don't even need to change.  Who am I to say?

If I am constantly worried about fixing someone, I am sick in my heart, overwhelmed and in pain.  When I just accept things the way that they are, and accept people the way that they are, love can emerge.

I will keep working on this simple old truth.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

I ran across this quote to day and immediately thought of this blog entry:
"Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength."
