Default Acceptance

"Acceptance is not submission; it is acknowledgment
of the facts of a situation. Then deciding what you're
going to do about it. —Kathleen Casey Theisen

Really like this, it struck a cord with me today. So many know there is a problem but pull on the blanket of denial and do nothing about it.

The thought that came to mind, "What you going to do?" For me, it was what ever it takes. For my son, it is generally nothing. Knowledge is forewarned. Others just don't want to heed, and figure they can handle it themselves. Many times I had to pray for the willingness to be willing to do.

I had to accept my own disease. Just saw this on FB

Stop Fixing Others

Dear Higher Power,

When I am overly dependent on others, I try to fix them. I have a real talent in pinpointing what is wrong with other people. But the very thing that enables me to see their defects most often blinds me to the same, sometimes even worse, shortcomings in myself.

Help me stop fretting about others and instead focus on correcting my own character defects.


When I try to fix others, I am preventing them from hitting bottom and learning the lesson that their HIGHER POWER is trying to teach them.
