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

What's Up With That?!

Never give up; you never know until you try.

I learned something Tuesday that I'm not sure what to make of.  Some people might think it's a good thing, but I'm in analysis mode, trying to digest what it all means and what to do about it.  The news was something like when you get one of those "back-handed compliments" like, "You look so good since you lost weight!"  (Yes, I have lost weight; and no, that isn't what I'm talking about.  I used that "compliment" as an example.)

So, dear readers, I leave you with my question of the day: How long does it usually take you to discern who is really talking to you (God, Satan, or people) when surprising comments, events, or news makes you seriously rethink your opinion of and/or approach to something?
