Three Things
Author: ChinThere are three things I hope to learn this year:
1. acceptance
2. the ability to take what has been given
3. and the insight to know how much I can give before I have to stop.
There are things beyond my control, and things I have given up control over, and things I can change if I want to but have been told not to. I have to learn to be more accepting that there are many things I shouldn’t pit myself against because I would only break trying. However, I am learning that lack of control is not always a bad thing. It can be good, too. Not everything has to be planned, and not all failed plans are mine to fix.
On second thought, make it four things. Here’s the fourth: I shouldn’t worry about being a year older each year, and I’ve to stop obsessing that it’s maybe high time I look for the perfect anti aging product. Everyone ages. The trick is doing it happily and gracefully.
Happy Friday, kittens!
Hi! My name is Chin, and this is where, to quote Jane Austen, I "run mad and as often as I choose."
