Deep thoughts

Today brings a world of possibilities, what will I make of the day?

So much of our lives are completely under our control, it is up to us to make what we will of it. I like The Serenity Prayer:

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.

I always add that even in those things that we cannot change, we are still in control of our attitude about it! Example; I can't control the weather, but I can control how I react to it. If it's rainy on a weekend when I want to be out playing, I just change my plans and move on, maybe turn the weekend into a movie weekend.... The other alternative is to sit and mope! Or be cranky all day... but what will that accomplish?

Make it a great day and a great week y'all!

I think that prayer is applicable in so many circles for so many people on so many days.

I've known that prayer since I was little. That's the right attitude - being passive is less stress.
