So if you live your life in a three piece suit,
In a cocktail dress, or combat boots
You pick your path and you walk your truth
And the world will come round to you.

Pop the cork, a champagne glass
Raise to the future, drink to the past
Thank the Lord for the friends he cast,
In the play he wrote for you.

So there are always those times where I'm just stupid and need to take a step back to contemplate things. The stupid thing is that I let little things get to me. If something doesn't work out the way I planned or when I assume things that aren't quite right. Rather, I really don't like the fact that I let things bother me sometimes because it shortens my temper and I really hate getting cranky at people for things that aren't their faults at all. I have a great backing of support and I really just don't reciprocate that often enough. I never make new year's resolutions because I'm afraid I can't meet the commitments I set out for myself...course, if I say to myself that I promised to do something, I'll probably try harder to keep that going :) Plus, if I post it publicly, I guess you guys can beat me for not following through. So anyhow, here it is. I'm going to try really hard to not let the little things bother me and to be supportive of those around me because they're the ones that support me through all my crazy shinanigans. haha If i think about it, this really sounds like the serenity prayer. maybe that's what I needed: serenity :)

Thanks to everyone for all the patience you've given me :)


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.
