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;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him
Forever and ever in the next.
Amen.
Wow! I didn't know you had it in you. I always thought you were just full of.......NOTHING.

Thanks, my friend. I actually don't think I've ever heard the second part of it so thanks for sharing. NOTHING but words to live by, for sure. No matter what, I am grateful for my faith which always sustains me. Also for the abundance of caring friends that God has placed in my path over the years, even my NOTHING friends - like Nucky said NOTHING but the bestest!

This is the hardest part so they put it right up front:

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change

NOTHING harder than to stand back and watch a train wreck and know you can't do a thing about it.

You bet the booze is important. The last cruise we went on we left the ship with a bill for $3.47 because we go so much stuff free (if you don't count the thousands of dollars that we have spent on previous cruises)

Well, you definitely won't have to bring that bad boy mower to TV when you move south.

NOTHING but going through mail, paying bills, grocery shopping, and laundry for me today. Oh, and then there's dinner to be made - aren't we having a fun day off from work?

Well the good news for me is I don't have to go into work tomorrow since I'm doing 2 back to back 10 hour days on Tuesday and Wednesday. Although I shouldn't be so overjoyed. I could use those extra bucks toward my goal of winning a bet I made with someone.

Yep, well at least he knows he's NOTHING but in our thoughts and prayers.

Want to place a bet that K fell asleep? After all, it's nap time for him. He's had NOTHING but a lot of practice for retirement living.
