My husband's health required an early retirement. We decided to move off the desert. The situation required that I find employment. We did move to a desirable geographical area but the friends and teachers whom I had grown to love and respect were not simulated in our new surroundings. Acceptance, not tolerance, and enjoying every moment are the keys to fulfillment.
Tolerance leaves some unfavorable concerns.
Total freedom to accept is the fullness of joy in this moment. It is not present unless less favorables are released. I have learned one quality lesson through the years. I take time to enjoy every moment. Quality time may not involve a quantity of time but each moment does provide an inner joy that makes all of life a marvelous happening.
