And now for something completely different... Detatchment with Love.


(((((Everyone)))))

My sponsor sent this to me a while back and I saved it.  Ran across it tonight for no "aparent" reason.  One double click that missed it's mark and all of a sudden - a reading that is just what I needed to see tonight.  I am so appreciative to him for that.

Hope you enjoy it too.

 I don't know the key to success, but the key to
failure is trying to please everybody.
--Bill Cosby
 "Oh, how I wish my dad would get sober." "Oh, how I
want my friend to get help with her eating problem."
"Oh, how I wish I could make my mom understand."
 When we become obsessed with how we want others to
change, we put our own happiness on hold. As we wait,
hoping and scheming about how to get others to see
their many problems, we are neglecting ourselves. It's
almost as if we think it's not fair for us to be happy
when others are miserable. But when we detach with
love, we still care, we still pray and wish for the
best, but we know that other people's problems belong
to them, not to us.
 Today let me accept the fact that if I detach with
love, no one will die from it. I'll just be more
healthy and happy.
 Our Best Days by Nancy Hull-Mast
