So we all know the words to the Serenity prayer, right?
And we may find ourselves invoking it now and then.
I just realized that for me,
the "SERENITY" is easy,
the "WISDOM" usually there too----
but the "COURAGE"---
not so much!
My problem is that I'm serenely capable
of sitting around and accepting my limitations--
but getting off my duff
and jumping OFF--
or IN..
sigh!
I've recently decided to change
what I'm eating and drinking
every day
in the hopes of feeling less
arthritic pain
and more energy.
Walking has become difficult,
and even with my cute trusty cane...
I'm not so willing to walk daily
so that I can get better.
See, I have to BE better
to GET better.
I lack the courage to change
that the Cowardly Lion lacked,
but then did find!
Meanwhile, I am most accepting
in every serene way
imaginable.
Even during fleeting moments of self-doubt--
I try not to break a serene sweat!
It has taken years of practice,
but I have achieved
Ultimate Serenity.
But where will I finally find
some of that nasty Courage--
to get up and get moving
and get better?
Stay tuned for further developments!
