a constant reminder to myself..
most would know i am not christian, despite attending sunday school when i was growing up. i think the lure for me to go church in the past was the pretty precious moments bible i had. now, it’s not that i don’t believe in him.. but it’s just too long an explanation to even try to explain.
anyway, last year, i made something meaningful.. i thought it would be a nice gift for her. this year, i am not that free anymore and despite cooking up plans to make something special for my friends, i seriously spent all the time mending my heart and learning to be happy.
mich msged me the other day the message that was on the cross stitch that i made her.. the serenity prayer. everytime i feel like im hitting rock bottom, i read it out loud in my mind to psych myself up, so i just want to share this here, especially for friends whom are like me, trying to stay strong..
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.
there is this other phrase that i used to tell him loads as well..
Perservere – when the going get tough, the tough(that’s me now!) gets going.

I’m down in my pits as well and reading ur entries abt how strong u are, makes me ashamed of myself.. as i have been and still is wallowing in self pity despite encouragement frm everyone.
