We all want to be accepted. We want to feel accepted by our family. We want to be accepted by our friends. We want to be accepted by our work colleagues.Acceptance is important and so is rejection. When we are rejected we often question our strengths or self worth. Accepting someone doesn’t mean we have to agree with him or her. It means we accept him or her because he or she is one with us on this human journey.

When a man is in love
how can he use old words?
Should a woman
desiring her lover
lie down with
grammarians and linguists?I said nothing
to the woman I loved
but gathered
love’s adjectives into a suitcase
and fled from all languages.

How do you see yourself? Do you see yourself lacking in abundance of the the good things of life or do you see yourself overflowing with abundance of the the good things of life? How we view ourselves and our lives goes far to determine how happy we are and how happy we make those who are close to us feel. When I think of abundance for myself I think of clean water, clean air, good friends, loving daughters, cherished memories of a great relationship. Yes, I am abundantly blessed.
Don’t give up on those you love. You may see them stumbling, struggling, and wandering. Don’t give up on them. They may surprise you and turn into a sparkling jewel. I’ve see it happen many times. Love always wins.

My mom always admonished me to learn something new everyday. This self-educated woman understood the value of learning. When we commit ourselves to a learning path, we shape our destiny. How will what you learn today further advance your life? How will what you learn today make you a better person, friend, partner, parent?
His Confidence
William Butler Yeats
Undying love to buy
I wrote upon
The corners of this eye
All wrongs done.
What payment were enough
For undying love?
I broke my heart in two
So hard I struck.
What matter? for I know
That out of rock,
Out of a desolate source,
Love leaps upon its course.
“Dreams are not what you see in your sleep, dreams are things which do not let you sleep.”
