Acceptance...

Some say its better to be positive, some say its easier to forget, some suggest to hang in there, some advice that it will soon pass.  The last three months have been really trying and it doesnt seem to end. I alternate between phases of positive and negative moments and trying to cope with it by going on with the normal things that one does in life. However Ive realized that the only way to deal with any bad phase is to just deal with it..coming to terms with it, accepting it and being clinical about it. And believe me, it is the most difficult thing to do. You dont resign yourself to fate but just let the moment come and go, most importantly to go.

I often read poetry when I am down and out. And this is one that keeps me going

"Be still sad heart cease repining
Behind the clouds the sun is shining
Thy fate is the common fate of all
Into some life some rain must fall
Some days must be dark and dreary."

- The Rainy Day, Longfellow
