I am still working on that, but I recognize that freedom lives there. Thank you.

I don't think I have ever thought of acceptance as an active endeavor; it always seemed much more passive, sort of capitulation to reality that could not be changed. I love this line: "Not on resignation, stocism or passivity, but on wild, exuberant, passionate acceptance." I will be chewing on these things all day. Thank you. Very, very profound thoughts.

Ahhh ... welcome freedom from guilt. Thankfully, our cabinet contents are always changing and updating as we travel our path.
