The Serenity Prayer
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.

Pturmer and Maryland Girl:

There is a book called the "The Precious Present" by Spencer Johnson, M.D., that one can read in 15 or 20 minutes. I hope I remembered the author correctly. It is a beautiful book of approximately eigthy pages, (large type), that explains this concept simply and eloquently.

Yesterday is gone.
Tomorrow is not here yet.
All we have is today.

It's the same sentiment. I don't want to give the premise of the book away.

You might enjoy reading it. I wish that I didn't give my copy away as it was never returned.

He also said "when you look into the abyss-- it looks into you"
I won't go into what else he said.

Take charge of your attitude. Don't let someone else choose it for you.

Women like silent men. They think they're listening.
