I can't control everything."<br /><br />What a strong woman you are, June. This thought literally blew me away. While we differ in our ideas about who takes us on our journey, I too know that everything will be just fine in the end. I need to stress less and enjoy-- or at least make the most out of-- the ride. Try as I might I can't control everything and I struggle with accepting that, though I must always be aware of it.<br /><br />I love the Serenity Prayer. Throughout my life I've heard bits and pieces of it, but it really hit home for me when one of my best friends returned home from a seven-month rehab stay. Whenever I accompany him to his AA meetings those words bring tears to my eyes. You don't have to be an addict, a Christian, or fall into any specific categories to find reassurance and hope in this prayer.CocktailsWithHemingwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01922089464782366274noreply@blogger.com
