Yes, yes, Marylinn, undoubtedly. <br /><br />Funny, my daughter is <em>always</em> asking for duct tape.

I have long known (in some part of my being) that the only thing I could ever change was myself and the way I feel about things, but knowning and Knowing are far apart, aren't they? I am making progress with acceptance. The surrender part is still a major struggle.<br /><br />Wonderful and thought-provoking post as usual, Marylinn.<br /><br />Isabel xIsabel Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974989548030799086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-51021362139490472242012-01-31T16:10:06.270-08:002012-01-31T16:10:06.270-08:00Have had the lesson hammered home this week (perha...Have had the lesson hammered home this week (perhaps we're working from the same Homework Book, Marylinn) – transmuting adrenaline into something kinder and lighter.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04557747956609276030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-45746122204453545072012-01-31T12:48:04.205-08:002012-01-31T12:48:04.205-08:00well said, Marylinn...

Isn't it amazing the breadth of application of some of the simplest ideas from the 12 step programs?<br /><br />The serenity seems to fit in uncomfortably well too often for me.
