My Sanity 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.

- Light candles. Unplug the phone after 6pm. Practice saying no. Take a walk alone. Limit your news intake. Pray. Swing on a swingset! Listen to mellow music. Meditate. Take a mini-retreat. Watch PBS. Color in a coloring book. Mimic your cat. Read brainfluff novels. Read Rumi. Read in a library. Read in a café. Read in bed. Ask for help. Nap in a sunbeam. Snuggle. Soak your feet. Doodle. Indulge in guilty pleasure TV. Get a massage. Stroll through a garden you don't have to weed. Make love. Burn your shoulds. Lower your standards. Accept help. Write a gratitude list. Breathe.

Ohmygosh! This photo gives new meaning to holiday spirit and I bow to the person who trained (and decorated) this canine. Molly would NEVER sit still for such festivity! What an image of joy to carry with me today. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs and blessings,

Oh My Goodness!! How adorable!! What a great Holiday card... you could market that!
As synchronicity would have it, I just shared that prayer with a friend over the weekend. It truly does put me in the zone of the moment....of peace..and of trusting.
Give the pooches a hug for me : )

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.
WORD!!!
Cool festive photo! Sunny has been doing his best to remove all of the white lights from our front bushes. Naughty List all the way.
