The Serenity Prayer

This prayer, often repeated, is an originally untitled prayer by theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. It makes great sense to me, and whether you believe in God or not, I think it's a smart idea.

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

Are You Still Thankful?

Never give up; you never know until you try.

It's the day after Thanksgiving.  We've stuffed ourselves more than we (or Aunt Martha) stuffed the turkey.  We've fought the crowds for "Black Friday" bargains and possibly saved money on our Christmas gifts.  Maybe we're tired, irritable, or nauseated--even all 3.  Underneath it all, are we still thankful, or did we put on "thankfulness" as we would put on a coat to go outside?

May we all have an attitude of thankfulness and love as we go into the Christmas season, filling our wish lists with things for others instead of ourselves.
