A New Day

A new day has begun.
A day of promise, of hope, of possibilities.
Of building newfound bridges,
And of mending broken ones.

I'm optimistic. I'm determined to be. And to start it off, I shall not swear at the lousy drivers on the way to work :)


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.

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.
Amen.

- Reinhold Niebuhr
