I was told whenever I thought I was beginning to make sense to make sure I 
got another opinion.  Some days are good, and some days are bad.  And some 
days are just - days.  It a lot like life.  Heck, it IS life! 
"Nothing changes if nothing changes."  EVERYTHING changes!  It just doesn't 
supprise me anymore.  If I do nothing, the worst situation will eventually 
change. (And choosing to do nothing is a choice, BTW.)  However, the Program 
tells me I can change the things I can.  I feel the Wisdom part comes with 
acceptance.
In the five stages of grief, the last is acceptance.  That was described to 
me as a void - the emptiness immediately following the purging of pain.  The 
great "Let Go."  Now, the question is, what do we allow to fill the vaccuum? 
 
Story time:
Throughout my Spiritual Journey, I found many new freedoms and happinesses.   
I start off with a hesitant walk, looking from side to side, and slowly pick  
up a little speed with my new-found confidence.  Before I know it, I'm  
running in the wind, hair in my face, smiling from ear to ear - you got the  
picture!
 
And 
       WHAM!
                I run into THE WALL -"The Worst That Could Happen!"
  
Oh no!  Where'd this come from?  No problem, nothing I can't handle, not 
now.  Just didn't hit it hard enough... 
 
After the Nth time, sitting on my butt - exhausted and bruised - the obvious 
comes to me.  I can't get through it, Soooo...
I'll go around it!  I start off to the right with a hesitant walk, looking  
from side to side, and slowly pick up a little speed with my new-found  
confidence.  Before I know it, I'm running in the wind, hair in my face,  
smiling from ear to ear - and I run a long time, until I get exhausted. 
Then the obvious comes to me.  I'm going the wrong way!  Soooo...
I turn around and head to the left with a hesitant walk, looking from side  
to side, and slowly pick up a little speed with my new-found confidence.   
Before I know it, I'm running in the wind, hair in my face, smiling from ear  
to ear - and I run a long, long time, until I get exhausted. 
This isn't working... This wall IS "The Worst That Could Happen!"
Maybe I didn't hit it hard enough, I think.  Maybe there's a weak spot I  
didn't see.  Maybe, If I had a longer lead... Yeah, I just didn't see it 
before, now I KNOW it's there!  A longer lead, hit the weak point, and I'm 
over this aggrevation!  Yeah!  Over this...aggr...
Over this?
Hmmm...
Battered and bruised and exhausted, I slowly walk away from THE WALL to get  
a different perspective.  Then I see it.  It wasn't a wall at all... 
It was the end of the next STEP...
And as I look behind me, I see that each time my progress was interupted by 
THE WALL, there was a new STEP to take me to the next level of my Spiritual 
Journey.  The worst that could happen was ALWAYS the best that could happen. 
I just couldn't see it from where I stood.
Moral of the story of THE WALL?
Get over it!
Luv Ya,
        Dann
