Preparedness from a place of positive thinking and pure old fashioned common sense stops you from being a Cassandra or a misery. Feeling you have the spiritual - and practical skills - to help you cope with anything life deals out is one of the best ways to feel in control of your life, if such a thing is possible. That's why I love the Serenity prayer so much. Couldn’t agree more. Preparedness from a place of positive thinking and pure old fashioned common sense stops you from being a Cassandra or a misery.

I love that picture you presented there with the constant awareness and preparedness .. shouldn't we all. As you so rightly say - you have some control if that preparedness is there and you can be flexible if things don't go according to plan. Your book certainly seems to be 'hitting' home and is offering all sorts of ideas to us .. I'll be reading it now I'm back .. thank you - Hilary Hi Lori ..
