Little bump in the road but still plugging away...

I received a letter from Sharp that they received my appeal and they are reviewing it. A little bump in the road, some language in the letter I am not too familiar with so my attorney is handling it (what would I do without him??!!). I am grateful for all his help!!!!

My friend Nancy sent this yesterday. She is an inspiration to me and is currently fighting breast cancer (you rock lady and looked amazing yesterday!!!!).

I LOVED this - especially the saying, "I can bend to any wind and remain unbroken!" Thanks so much Nanc - hugs!!

Night :)

Today's Daily Affirmation:

Bend, Don’t Break, with the Wind

BY DR. WAYNE W. DYER

Having lived by the ocean for many years, I’ve observed the strength and beauty of the tall palm trees that grow at the water’s edge. These stately giants are able to withstand the hurricane-force winds that uproot and destroy many larger, older, and more majestic trees. What is the palm trees’ secret to staying in one piece through huge, devastating storms? They bend almost down to the ground at times, and it’s that ability that allows them to survive. The Tao invites us, too, to be resilient, elastic, and pliant when we face the powerful winds that are part of life. When destructive energy comes along, allow yourself to resist brokenness by bending. Look for times when you can make the choice to weather a storm by allowing it to blow through without resistance. How does this work? Be willing to adapt to whatever may come your way by initially allowing yourself to experience that potentially destructive energy, much like the bending tree in the hurricane. When criticism comes, listen. When powerful forces push you in any direction, bow rather than fight, lean rather than break, and allow yourself to be free from a rigid set of rules—in doing so, you’ll be preserved and unbroken. Keep an inner vision of the wind symbolizing difficult situations as you affirm: I have no rigidity within me. I can bend to any wind and remain unbroken. I will use the strength of the wind to make me even stronger and better preserved.

Namaste,

Wayne
