Been such a long time...seems that I've lost lots of things over this period and I want it all back, but that isn't going to happen. Due in part to decisions and circumstances beyond my control, of course. But, much has to do with things I've said and done, so I'm not removed from a role or responsibility. So, I'm doing my best to live by this: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardship 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 Reinhold Neibuhr (1926) I have many hurts, habits and hangups! But, I'm working on them. Time is my greatest enemy!
