That's what i'm gonna do, I gotta let it go, I gotta let it be ... it is what it is and that's all there is to it ... so i'm going to remind myself of these few prayers everyday ... as it were =)
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.
Living one day at a time;
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;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
and SUPREMELY HAPPY with HIM FOREVER in the next.
AMEN.

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge HIM and HE will direct your paths"
Proverbs 3: 5-6
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
May today there be peace within,
May you trust GOD that you are exactly where you are meant to be,
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of FAITH,
May you use those gifts that you have received,
and pass on the LOVE that has been given to you,
May you be content knowing that you are a CHILD OF GOD,
Let this present settle into your bones,
and allow your SOUL the freedom to SING, DANCE, PRAISE AND LOVE,
It is there for each and everyone of us ...

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered, FORGIVE them anyways,
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives, BE KIND anyways,
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies, SUCCEED anyways,
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you, BE HONEST AND SINCERE anyways,
What you spend years creating others could destroy overnight, CREATE anyways,
If you find serenity and happiness some may be jealous, BE HAPPY anyways,
The good you do today will often be forgotten, DO GOOD anyways,
Give the best you have and it will never be enough, GIVE YOUR BEST anyways,
In the final analysis, it is between you and GOD. It was never between you and them anyways.
I will remember these words everyday .... thank you JESUS!!!! AMEN!
