Serenity Prayer

Man do I need to remember this today! I am not religous but this is the one thing that really does get me through and today I need all of that strength.



God grant me serenity to accept the things I can not change


The courage to change the things I can


and the Wisdom to know the difference.




Hopefully today will be an okay day!!!

Yes, that is a good one.

Another similar saying is "Pick your battles"!


Hope your day gets better, and tomorrow is better still!

When I learned to accept things and people, the way they are by saying this prayer often, I felt a Peace and happiness, come over me like a waterfall!

God Bless

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
