Sunset Cadillac Mtn   Reddit.jpg

Sunset seen from Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park, Maine.  It's the place where the sun is first seen on most days in the USA, so this is kind of a different look.

Things continue to roll along, now my wife may stay at the hospital in a different part for her rehab, that would be better I think.  She was feeling good yesterday.

Our concept of control was flawed. This program leads us into a new world. Here we meet the fact that we are powerless to change some aspects of ourselves. But we can become ready to be changed. That makes all the difference. When we accept this truth, we are already changed and we are more in line with nature and the universe.

We can’t make ourselves less perfectionistic, but we can become ready to let go of our demand for perfection. We can’t force family harmony into our lives, but we can become more ready to be harmonious. We can’t make a lasting love appear for us on command—but we can become ready for such a relationship when the opportunities appear. Do we yearn for some change? How might we ready ourselves to receive it?

Today, I will try to become ready for the help and change I most need in my life.

Smiles from the threshold of the year to come,
Whispering 'it will be happier'...”

I quit on October 25, 2013, it was the best decision I ever made (or, one of them). I smoked for over 50 years and quit Cold Turkey. My most useful tool is gratitude, you can borrow some from me.
