my nanna sally used to love the prayer "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"..

she loved it so much, she had it on magnets on her fridge..on a little key ring...on her wall...and she'd quite often quote it to me.

back when i was a kid, i never knew what it really meant, but i liked the way she made the words sound..
she made them almost angelic..

as i got older, i always remembered the prayer...but never really found a time when i felt the need to use it.

until now

yes ma'am..i love the grrl..

but some things i do not like.
some things upset me.
some things downright feel like salt in an open wound.
but i must accept these things, for i know they will just brew and fester and eventually eat me alive

so i must learn some restraint when it comes to trying to accept these things that i can not change..
and i must learn to take full advantage of the things that i can..
i don't need any wisdom to know the difference though...because, unfortunately, i'm fully aware of whether or not these things can or can not be changed..

but now i'm babbling..and i'm beginning to feel all pathetic again...so i need to go and do something constructive, before it flows up and the grrl picks up on it and we fight again..*sigh*
i so much fucking hate ex's...really...
