I finally start writing here again and things kinda circle the drain elsewhere. I could be all philosophical and try and figure out which came first, the crisis or the impetus to write again, but really it doesn’t even matter.
My wife was telling me this morning how growing up she saw the Serenity Prayer in several different colors and fonts, she can remember it always being around. Maybe it’s something I need right now.
I’m not very religious. If there is a God he’s mad at me about something and making sure I feel it. But maybe this will help, if not me then someone:
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
Finally: please don’t worry about me; we’re dealing with some heavy stuff but I’m okay; I think we’ll all be okay.
I like the version that includes “and the wisdom to hide the bodies”. But I’m evil like that.
((hugs)) and good thoughts sent your way.
