I think it comes down to are we willing to be carried in the tide of the circumstances and are we going to grab onto the life raft of acceptance? Each and every person must decide - Acceptance or Resignation. Sometimes this same decision has to be made over & over because the circumstances are constantly changing. New bumps come up along the way and the decision has to be made again.Where am I?Where are you?
