Lost

Been feeling a bit lost lately, is it because I've been ill, maybe it’s because I'm worried that I'll need surgery on my wrist (surgery 'fixes' the problem, however, it may never be the same again) it’s hard to explain.  I suppose the wrist is my fault, I shouldn't have been hitting the punching bag so hard but, I was angry and needed to release the anger and frustration that was building…now I have no other way form of releasing my frustration when it builds.
Something (maybe it’s someone) is missing from my life, so hard to tell; I need to get back out and walk in nature.  Being surrounded by nature and the chirping sound of the birds, is so calming, helps me think, I can shed as many or as few tears along the way and not have to worry about explaining myself.  I can walk for miles, get lost in my thoughts, not realizing how far I've walked, that’s the best part! 

“If you seek creative ideas go walking.
Angels whisper to a man when he goes for
a walk.”

Acceptance

Acceptance of others but not one self…

We seem to accept others for whom and what they are, whywhen most of us can't accept who we are…

We change who we are for others so that they will like or love us; we change our appearance, our clothing, our beliefs, and sometimes our way of thinking simply to be accepted! 
Don't change for others; change because you want to, because it's best for YOU – that right there, is the ultimate achievement. Realize that, even with all our faults, we are beautiful.

“Your outside is just what you live in, sleep in, and has little connection with who you are and even less with what you do.”
 William Faulkner, The Reivers
