The Serenity Prayer

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

an obvious fact: embrace life with utmost enthusiasm and notice how you're more eager to wake up in the morning and realize that you're smiling no matter how wrong things have gone. God works in mysterious ways, i read. it may not be according to our plan but His ways are always for the best.

call me a dork but i'm actually super excited for practicum. sure, it starts at 8 and will end at 5.30 in the afternoon. the rush hour. the traffic. the future migraine attacks. but i'm enthusiastic and i'm very positive that i'm going to love what i'm going to do. i'm glad i chose this path. doing hospital work and research, that is.

i'm happy :) that's all there is to it. it does not feel like i'm on a 200 hour time for practicum, actually. the beauty of loving what you do.

i'm off to bed now. my day starts early tomorrow. hurray for being productive and hurray for learning beyond the walls of a classroom.
