A few weeks back I wrote about me starting to get back to work again. Things seemed to be going okay for some time, but then I had a setback. Yesterday I got back on the horse and tried to get back to work again. It was a very satisfying day in that aspect, I actually felt kind of useful for once. But I do notice that I’m not as strong as I would like to be. Perhaps I just keep disappointing myself by having too high expectations. I recall hearing a prayer a while ago, never really remembering it completely, but the words “..to accept the things I cannot change”. I looked it up on the internet, and I finally found it.
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.
I’ll try to memorize it, hoping it will grant me the serenity I need to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. I need it.
