Serenity 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. 

I am a perfectionist.  And on hard days I have to pray this prayer multiple times.  I cannot fix everything.  I cannot make everyone's problems go away.  I cannot be everything to everyone all the time.  There isn't enough of me... and when I try to do that, I don't have enough of me left to give to the things that are important... my son and my husband.

I think I'll write this on my hand for tomorrow.

Yes! I have said this prayer many times - but especially lately. I'm sure you saw my status on FB with it too. Just know that you are amazing. Even if you don't see it. You're an amazing therapist, an amazing mom, an amazing wife, and an amazing person. You may not see it or get reminded of it enough, but you are. I'm am always in awe in all that you get done and do - and I don't even have a kid!
