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

Think!!

Never give up; you never know until you try.

I've had several examples recently of how careless words can stir up anger and/or resentment and put up walls between people.  Often, we don't mean any harm, but the damage is done.

Moral:  THINK!!! Think before you speak, and when you blurt something out in a moment of surprise, anger, fatigue, delight, whatever: APOLOGIZE!!!

Chances are, you and the offended party will share a chuckle.
