... I've had better days!
Yesterday was like a wake-up call, so to speak.

I love this quote, and the song that follows it:
God, please give me strength to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference!
And to, not so discreetly, change the subject:
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen.
The "Serenity Prayer" is one of the most well-known prayers of our time. It is the common name for a prayer originally written by theologian Reinhold Niebuhr in the late1930s to early 1940s. Research suggests that Niebuhr wrote the prayer for as part of a sermon he was giving. (source and more details)

Nici eu nu știam până nu am scris articolul ăsta și „m-am documentat” :P Am auzit prima dată acest citat într-un film.. pe la final, o replică nu foarte importantă, care, poate pentru unii, a trecut neobservată.
