Acceptance is the key to serenity

Experimenting with more color

********

Before my feet hit the floor in the morning, I like to set an "intention" for what I'm going to practice that day. Today's intention is to listen carefully for direction. How easily I get caught up in "my own will", trying to make life happen instead of trusting and allowing it to flow naturally. But in allowing, I'm certain to have a  peaceful day. Acceptance is the key to serenity.
