"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change".... i remember when my wife was going in for brain tumor (pituitary)surgery. the night before we discussed turning over our faith to God, to ask to be able to accept whatever the outcome of this surgery. The next morning we were in the hospital at 5am to get prep for 6am surgery. the surgeon came around with a cast of maybe five interns/staff. when he saw us he stopped in his tracks. He couldn't believe we were at such peace. It really took him by surprise., he said he never experienced anyone looking so peaceful before this type of operation. We told him we are at peace and are ready to accept the results. Acceptance of where we are and where we may be going takes away anxiety, fear, projections, things we cannot do a thing about yet we get all tied up inside over something that may never happen. Acceptance is not an easy place to get, easy to talk about it or write about it but it is something that requires a lot of faith and work. If you get there , you life becomes less tense and more productive and enjoyable in helping those in need.

LOL! When I was a kid my Mom told a joke about the Grand Tetons. It went something like this: A passenger plane was flying over the Grand Teton range. A passenger exclaimed, "Oh, aren't those the most beautiful mountains you ever saw? What are they called?" Flight attendant (i.e. in those days, stewardess): "Oh, those are the Grand Teton Mountains, Ma'am." "Grand Teton? What does that mean." Well, the stewardess knew, but she was a demure thing. "Oh, that means they are the Sweater Girl Mountains," she said. Sweater Girl was a euphemism (why is one required???) for buxom. These days we would just come out and say what the Mountain Men trappers who named those mountains were thinking when they named them The Grand Tetons. Those are the Big Titty Mountains. (ManyMoose blushes demurely.)
