Great Indian scholar-practitioner Shantideva once observed..........
"that whilst we have no hope of finding enough leather to cover the earth so that we never prick our feet on a thorn, we actually do not need this much.
He observed that enough leather to cover the soles of our feet will suffice.
In other words whilst we cannot always change our external situation to suit us, we can change our attitude.

Great timing for me to read that thought Bonnie, Thanks! Have felt for a long time that it isn't what's put on our plate to deal with in life that's most "important" but HOW we deal with it.
