In accepting God's will, I know that what seems to be a hardship can sometimes (many times) be a blessing in disguise. Who can tell? Only God. I just try to be as accepting as I can of changing circumstances, health, finances, etc. I too am definitely a grasshopper (very impractical - actually an "old hippie" if you want to use that term). although I have a very successful career and proably look to observers to be very self-sufficient, I know that I make some very foolish (to some people) decisions (but they turn out O.K. for me so far). Anyway, I am very happy and peaceful and joyful in the knowledge that someday, some way, God will make everything right and secure and healthy and dispense whatever justice he sees fit. Until then, I am just really grateful for each day and being able to work and be with my family. I think what I'm trying to communicate is the fact that it's not necessary to entirely let go and trust the universe. Just know that ultimately, everything will be great. And those are the feelings of (what people tell me I am) an optimist.
