January

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

I'm not the most spiritual person, but I do believe and pray. This prayer is one I love and repeat to myself often. I have it displayed in the house. I like being in control and being able to determine my own outcomes. Some situations in life, however, are impossible to control. When these situations arise and I find myself becoming anxious/nervous/scared because I can't control the situation, I turn to this prayer.

January, for me, could set a tone for the year. No matter what happens, I know this is going to be an awesome year because I'm blessed with a job, a supportive husband, and a beautiful daughter. This month, I am leaning on this prayer to help me to be at peace with situations that aren't in my control. Hope for the best, stay positive. This prayer is my mantra for the month.
