God grant me the Serenity to accept the things
I cannot change
The Courage to change the
things I can
And the Wisdom to know the difference.
For many years, I thought that this prayer was just a nice saying. Maybe even a bit cliche. Typically this piece is spayed all over plaques, knick-knacks and cheap artwork. It tends to lose it's value.
In the past several months, it has become very real to me. I am a control freak, mostly. And, when I don't have control of things that I believe I should, it eats me alive. Quite literally. I have begun to realize that I have to focus on what can be changed and letting the rest go.
A very valuable life lesson to learn...and a tough one, for sure. At least for a control freak like me!
