Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Today's thought is: It's a fine thing to rise above pride, but you must have pride in order to do so. -- Bernanos We are entitled to feel proud of our accomplishments. Pride is an essential ingredient in the recipe of life, and it comes from an inner sense of well being, from knowing we have done the best we could under difficult conditions. When our day's plans are upset by the unexpected, we may struggle with maintaining our pride. We may have been completely independent but now have to rely on others. Or we may have had little pain before and are now overwhelmed by it. Increasingly, we see that we need to find a solution to these new problems or to adjust to those which have none. Solutions and adjustments may be difficult, but we are incorporating them into our lives. We are entitled to feel proud. Pride is mine as I adjust to my new problems.
