Thank you Fearless Founder!
"There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative." --W. Clement Stone
Yes! Thank you, Liz, for a nice long reminder of ways to live. Amazing how we forget these things after living as BCTGs (Bitter Cave Troll Gamers) ((Exazzy taught me that)).
Acceptance. When I am disturbed, it is because a person, place, thing, or situation is unacceptable to me. I find no serenity until I accept my life as being exactly the way it is meant to be. Nothing happens in God’s world by mistake. Acknowledge the problem, but live the solution!
I second that!
Doing anything on that list other than gaming sounds good to me :-)
