Serenity
Many years ago, The Serenity Prayer became a part of my life. It reminds me that I cannot fix or change everything that disturbs or challenges me. It shows me the power of surrender based in wisdom and the power of faith based in experiences that called into question all that I believed and everyone I trusted.
The Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the serenity to accept the
things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can.
And the wisdom to know the difference.
The ability to accept what I cannot change can be an intense challenge and it is truly the only path to serenity...
Though laughter helps immensely as well!!
Just this morning my daughter-in-law called me about a mixup in our schedules. For some reason the entire situation hit us as funny - because we had to own our still somewhat inefficient brain functions that resulted from recent world history. We could not stop laughing at life and ourselves.
My comment, once I caught my breath, was "Oh my gosh, we need to laugh more!"
What more is there to say?
