I still have bad days. But that’s okay. I used to have bad years. — Anonymous - Melody Beattie

Rest when you’re tired. Take a break when life stales. Take time to recharge your battery. Energy isn’t something you have — it’s something you are. To give and give and give, to put out without taking in, depletes your battery. It drains you, runs you down.

...the pain that comes from loving someone who's in trouble can be profound.

Today, God, help me practice the concept of acceptance in my life. Help me accept myself, others, and my circumstances. Take me one step further, and help me feel grateful.
