“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to not tell someone today to shut the fuck up.”

Thank you, David. I'll remember that example of gratitude's power.

And I value #AngelaDavis' potent remix of the #SerenityPrayer too, as we learn to navigate that tricky old trick!

"I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept."

My meditating bear March Madness NCAA Tournament serenity prayer:

Basketball gods grant me the ability to accept the tournament upsets I cannot change, the foresight to pick the bracket upsets I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

"One has to have the serenity to accept the things one cannot change, the courage to change the things one can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

Reinhold Niebuhr, 1930
