Accepting the inevitable gracefully.

Whenever I am having a hard time accepting things I fall back on the Serenity prayer. It has been my mainstay at some of the lowest points in my life. I first learned it when I was going to gam-anon (organization for families of compulsive gamblers). Anyway the gist of the prayer is to learn to accept what you can't change , to change those things you can and have the wisdom to know the difference.
