im sorry but i dont feel i can answer that yet. not at this point and time because i just dont know and am unsure.
but i will say that surrending to just about anything is a bit frightening. maybe it is the control issue again. oh my goodness i now fear running into a bottle of nail polish with the name "control".
but actually, if that does happen, you can bet your bottom dollar that i will probably lose it (control) and come running to all of you for advice/thoughts again. i would love a thread in the "coincidence" category. some people say "there are no such things as coincidences" and i really dont understand what they mean. i do not know if such a thread would fall under this forum. do you? ack! it's probably already been discussed!

Yeah, I wondered about surrender. Very powerful, very overbearing.

I would suggest that you embrace instead of surrendering. It denotes a welcoming of the change instead of having it forced upon you. Why cower before it when you can stand tall and welcome it into your life?

i like that idea. think embrace, instead of, surrender (even though they'd both be equally difficult).

Yes. It isn't a question of making it easier. It's the attitude of acceptance that's important.
