Struggles

Lately, I have been having struggles. Mice wanting to use my car for their playground, trouble with the altitude being too high for easy breathing, turning to busy-ness to fill my time.
My  friend and advisor, the abbot, suggested in a postcard that I have saved, 'life is full of comings and goings, doings, going here and there'- I certainly find myself doing exactly that- He said 'focus rather on being'. 
Hmmm,  say I to myself- always easy to conjure up a new scenario for myself, rather than acceptance and simply being in a situation. But what does acceptance mean?
I turn to solving the scenario in whatever way it seems to have gone askew. 
Then there is the point that I reach in which I say, I can't do that. Only by God's Grace will such and such happen.
Then I realize, that is exactly where He wants me to be. 
Oh, to simply accept that, the simplest of solutions- in Your Hands!

    Blog Quotes...
    I have piles, on my desk, by my computer, in my bedroom, in bookshelves, of quotes from a variety of authors that hit me as being  DEEP THOUGHTS.
    All of these scraps of paper are to me, things to pay attention to, things to learn from, and most of all food, in a spiritual sense.

    It occurs to me today, to put them somewhere to  access them, and something you might like to think about too.  

    So -Merry Christmas- a gift to me certainly, and I hope to you!
