Wait

I wonder if anyone has missed my posts lately, wondering if I dropped off the face of the earth!  Truth of the matter is that I locked myself out of Facebook and was waiting for a reply from them in my attempt to get back in.  My computer guru who has been helping me said, "it might be awhile."  So, wait I did.  Have you ever been in a similar situation when life threw you a curveball? What a question nowadays, huh!?

It gave me  another opportunity to take stock of the Serenity Prayer: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change..."  But oh, so difficult, when so much is out of our control.  Another situation occurred this week also that I needed to accept...well, quite a few, but details sure don't matter.  I'm probably not alone!

How do you get through times when you must accept those things that can't be changed?  With this virus and wearing mask issue I was so upset yesterday I called a friend and "cranked" to her...which led to a few laughs at the same time!  That helped change my "cranky" channel. Talking with a friend who is helping me make a couple of chairs helped, too.  This conversation actually made the original concern much better.  It was a good thing I went and talked with him. 

So, sometimes our situations become huge boogy men in our mind but with some conversation with others and a willingness to see a different perspective, things usually work out as good or better than before.  Have you ever experienced this?  

I'm glad for those of you who continue reading my posts, and especially when you share them.  With so many businesses challenged during this pandemic I am so glad to reach a wider audience to offer spiritual direction. 

It excites me to meet new clients from a broader area, and you sharing these posts helps tremendously.  Thank you to each and every one of you who not only read these posts but who have given me wonderful feedback and encouragement.  It's a two-way street of benefit!   And thanks again for passing them along! You can't know the individuals who have shared with me how spiritual direction has been such a blessing to them.  

Excitement fills me for you to read this post, but I will continue to wait until I can get it on Facebook!  "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change..."
