| Sometimes limitations are physical. Sometimes they have to do with resources, weather, health, fears and random happenstance. There are no guarantees, but appreciation and gratitude are better than any of their opposites. |  |
 | Calm is calm. Not frantic, not excited, not frightened or frightening. Calm, like water that is neither frozen nor choppy. Calm is possessing the ability to think, to consider a situation without panic. Calm is not perpetually on the edge of flipping out. |

Life is lumpy. Let it be. I'm going to type it again (for my own therapy...skip over it, if you think you've already got it!). "Life is lumpy; let it be." Not every day is perfect. Not every moment is memorable. Perfection is never perfect. And you know what? That's okay! Fighting it only makes you miserable. You can choose to be miserable, of course. But that's your choice. Hard to feel victimised if you refuse to be the victim... —Faolmar |
 | If small changes of attitude can make more happy moments than before, that benefits everyone involved.
No one can have perfect happiness, but *more* happiness is easy to come by. It doesn't cost any more than less happiness, but it's much healthier and better for the whole family and the neighbors and relatives. |
 | Look at things others might not see. See their shapes, their backgrounds. Light changes. Wind comes. Things were once younger, smaller, newer. They will be older, different, gone. See what's around you. |
