"Now the thing that I call livin' is just bein' satisfied, with knowin' I got no one left to blame." -- Gordon Lightfoot, "Carefree Highway"

I think a big part of happiness is rooted in learning what you can control, taking responsibility for it, and accepting what you can't control.

Easier said than done sometimes. But, I tend to stress a lot less about a situation when I've sorted this out for myself.

    the only piece of christianity I hold near and dear to my heart is the 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
