Serenity

It's been a long and rough couple of days. If the past few days are any indication of how 2011 is going to be then I'm in for a long ride. 2012 anyone?!?!...kidding (well maybe).

Anyways, I'm just trying to keep my chin up and realize that stuff happens and it's how you prevail through the hard times. The Serenity Prayer has been a great reminder to me.

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.
