Every now and then it’s important for me to recite the serenity prayer (at least the first part). It gives me a good reminder of how to set foot on a peaceful path.
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.
So many of life’s questions have no answers. Some say live the mystery. That’s one way of putting it. For me, it’s been a choice of choosing a life of despair or choosing a life of hope believing it’s all going to work out. I’ve opted to live a life of hope and a deep belief everything works out. It’s made all the difference for me.
Some days the best you can do is to put one foot in front of the other, lift your face to the wind, and press on. Never quit. Never stop believing. Good things are coming your way.

Fate used me meanly; but I looked at her and laughed,
That none might know how bitter was the cup I quaffed.
Along came Joy, and paused beside me where I sat,
Saying, ‘I came to see what you were laughing at.’
“We writers, as we work our way deeper into our craft, learn to drop more and more personal clues. Like burglars who secretly wish to be caught, we leave our fingerprints on broken locks, our voiceprints in bugged rooms, our footprints in the wet concrete.”
“On a day when you’re not feeling so good, you put on a happy face, it’s infectious – these things sound kind of corny and stupid, but this is our life.”
Joe: “My dog kept chasing people on a bike.”
Pete: “That’s terrible, Joe.”
Joe: “Eventually, it got so bad I had to take his bike away.”
I figured out how to have more time to do the things I like to do. I decided it was too much work minding other folks’ business. I’ll just mind my own. I feel better already!
True or False: Fat is essential for a healthy body.
Answer
TRUE: (It’s the kind of fat that counts). You definitely want to keep an eye on trans fats, which are added to some foods (like frozen pizza and baked goods) to keep them fresh. They’ve been linked to heart disease. But some fat — from dairy, whole eggs, fish, avocado, or nuts, for example — is good for you as part of a balanced diet. And high-fat dairy may even help you lose weight better than low fat. This may be because the fat satisfies your hunger better than other calories.
