This comment made me curious about the origins and happy to discover the rest of the prayer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serenity_Prayer -- neat!<br /><br />I have done "type it out and send it to myself" therapy as well, which has been very helpful sometimes. <br /><br />I do like making up things about anonymous people - while people watching, while browsing data about blog readers, and while reading comments... Alllllllmost always... :)Galiana Chancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14604486336027929608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284698308807609369.post-88709250327148275992010-12-19T19:44:27.385-06:002010-12-19T19:44:27.385-06:00God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I ...God, grant me the serenity<br />To accept the things I cannot change;<br />Courage to change the things I can;<br />And wisdom to know the difference.<br /><br />I'm not remotely religious but this prayer is a kind of mantra for me... I say it over and over when I remember and am feeling stressful. You are right Galiana things do work out most of the time... even when they don't they still do. To worry about what we could have done, said, not gotten to say, is fruitless... next time you don't get closure with someone, or you can't speak to them and you want to, well say it out loud to yourself, have a conversation, or type it out, and don't send it. I realize you might be talking to yourself but perhaps they will hear you and then you can let it go... and just smile, you learned how to accept one more thing you could not change.<br /><br />and isn't it more fun to have a mystery Anonymous person that responds to your blog? you can make up anything about them you want :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
