One thing i want to clarify - that every service member, veteran, wants us to remember - is that the vast majority of people returning from service come back completely healthy. but when we do come across someone who is struggling. we have to develop a culture of open arms and acceptance so that they feel comfortable saying, "i'm a veteran. and by the way, i need little help." this is something we need to do in this country around mental health as a whole - destigmatizing mental health.

The number one need in all people is the need for acceptance, the need to experience a sense of belonging to something and someone. the need for acceptance is more powerful in your family than anywhere else.... if that need is not met by your family, trust me, your kids will go elsewhere to seek it in order to find approval and acceptance.

Someone real," i hear myself saying. "someone who never has to pretend, and who i never have to pretend around. someone who's smart, but knows how to laugh at himself. someone who would listen to a symphony and start to cry, because he understands music can be too big for words. someone who knows me better than i know myself. someone i want to talk to first thing in the morning and last thing at night. someone i feel like i've known my whole life, even if i haven't.

Acceptance is not a talent you either have or don't have. it's a learned response. my meditation teacher made a great point about the difference between a reaction and a response: you may not have control over your initial reaction to something, but you can decide what your response will be. you don't have to be at the mercy of your emotions, and acceptance can be your first step toward empowerment . . . for me, acceptance has been the cornerstone to my having an emotionally healthy response to my illness.

Why should all virtue work in one and the same way? why should all give dollars? it is very inconvenient to us country folk, and we do not think any good will come of it. we have not dollars; merchants have; let them give them. farmers will give corn; poets will sing; women will sew; laborers will lend a hand; the children will bring flowers.
