"When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing, or situation--some fact of my life--unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing, or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment."--Alcoholics Anonymous, 3rd Edition, page 449 (The Big Book)
"You have to accept whatever comes, and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give."--Eleanor Roosevelt
"I've developed a new philosophy--I only dread one day at a time."--Charlie Brown, comic strip character
