Today is going to need all sorts of magic… I have a clogged drain and no amount of *anything* worked to unclog it on Sunday and we tried practically all.day.long! It made for a contentious, irritating day… and yes, there were LOTS of raised voice conversations. So when I found this in my in-box yesterday, it was exactly what I needed. So with a nod to the brilliant Sarcastic Lutheran… I present my take on the Serenity Prayer for a Monday Morning!

Dear Monday

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change or fix like…

  • clogged drains
  • laundry
  • neighbors who are on the opposite side of the political spectrum from me

Give me the courage to change the things I can (and a willing heart to do them!) like…

  • my attitude… hoo boy does it need an adjustment
  • renewed contentment with simply staying home
  • the sheets, it is Monday after all

And the wisdom to know the difference…such as

  • Not moving the things from one list to the other and vise versa.
AMEN!

P.S. I have been doing lots of OLW contemplations… and I think I might have found my word. Maybe.
