No matter what comes to visit, treat it like a gracious guest.

It’s coming to be recognized –so being rude, ignoring it, or sweeping it under the refrigerator will only postpone the inevitable.

Our guest will come back again and again–we can be sure of that–until we are willing to greet it pleasantly.

But once we fully meet it with a resilient internal willingness, something will shift. And we will discover, much to our surprise, that we are grateful.
