warriors

I'm reading a new book and I'd like to share some excerpts from it over the next few postings.  The book is called, Comfortable with uncertainty.  The book talks about what a warrior is and I liked this part:
 A warrior accepts that we can never know what will happen to us next. We can try to control the uncontrollable by looking for security and predictability, always hoping to be comfortable and safe.  But the truth is that we can never avoid uncertainty.  This not-knowing is part of the adventure.  It is also what makes us afraid. 

I have to agree that the not knowing is very scary and makes me afraid.  And I have to say the adventure I have is not one I would have chosen but it is what I was given.  I try every day to learn to accept it and accept that I cannot change it.  I can only change how I chose to handle what I was given.  A lot of people have used the word Grace when describing how I handle my cancer, I kind of like that.  I certainly try to have grace and acceptance and I think that's what warriors need.
