Thoughts on Serenity
Posted: Thu Nov 03, 2005 1:41 pm
I saw this alternate version of the traditional Serenity Prayer today, as well as these other ideas. I'm thinking of printing them out and posting them to my dashboard to refer to as I navigate through the post-Wilma non-traffic-signal intersections here.... 
Grant me the Serenity to accept the people
I cannot change,
The Courage to change the one I can,
And the Wisdom to know that one is me.
--There is no key to happiness. The door is always open.
--Silence is often misinterpreted but never misquoted.
--Faith is the ability to not panic.
--Laugh every day: it's like inner jogging.
--Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape.
--When you get tangled up in your problems, be still so God can untangle the knot.
--A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.
