Do you want to be really happy? You can begin by being appreciative of who you are and what you've got. Do you want to be miserable? You can begin by being disconnected. As Lao~tse wrote: "A tree as big around as you can reach starts with a small seed; a thousand~mile journey starts with one step."

Wisdom, Happiness and Courage are not waiting somewhere out beyond sight at the end of a straight line; they're part of a continuous cycle that begins right here.

More wisdom from Benjamin Hoff's odd book, The Tao of Pooh.

Something I posted on another site in 2009

Ironically, got a call from my friend S. and this is one of the topics we discussed, having acceptance of yourself and affirming yourself that you are loved and lovable. No matter whether you are having a bad hair day, put on a few pounds, suffering from bloating and swelling, and any other ailment we may have.

Don't let things take you away from who you are. Words can be hurtful, especially when said by you and directed at you.

Told her about going to a meeting last Friday and planning to go to another one tomorrow. She says, "I go to take my drugs and I think of you, and take them any way."

I told her about meeting my friend yesterday and him asking my age and telling me, "You are still looking good!" That was what started our conversation on self acceptance and if we are comfortable with who we are, or do we still have to put on the mask and dress the part you want to portray, hiding the real you from others. Don't do it too much any more, what you see is what you get.
