         Today was a long day of working hard.  I am now two months behind on my rent.  If not paid up by the end of the month, they want me outta here...  I guess I'll be hitting the road, Jack.  My car payment is due the first of July as well.  Oh, happy day.

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.

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.

--Reinhold Niebuhr

Requiescat in Pace

A portion of this prayer is often used at AA and Al-anon meetings, but it is a beneficial reflection for anyone needing serenity in the midst of the trials and tribulations of life.
