- 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;
- So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
- And supremely happy with Him
- Forever and ever in the next.
or this:
as my response to life these days.
I was feeling all peaceful and optimistic in my outlook, having completed my "blessings" list, gaining some perspective, etc. There will be hard times, but there will come answers. Find the blessings in life in the meantime. Stay positive. All that jazz.
And then a friend heard some absolutely devastating news yesterday. And I realized, once again, that life can be insanely f*ing unfair.
So what do you do? Stay serene? Or go straight for insanity, no detours? Don't look at me, I'm still trying to figure it out.
