Monday, Monday, so good to me... anyone else remember the Mamas & the Papas, or am I again showing my age?!? But, in a weird sort of way, I do look forward to Mondays & the routine they bring. And, even though I only work part-time, Mondays are a work day, but again that routine also brings some comfort. I'm realizing that as much as I look forward to the weekend & spending more time with DH, DS(s), family & friends, I'm also ready for Monday to come & start the week with its more predictable routines & patterns.
But before I start by Monday of tennis then work, I'll set my intention today to appreciate the comfort of routines and I'll begin in 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.
And, I'll pray, breathe, post & express my way through this one day at a time and each one meal, moment, bite & emotion, being grateful for each routine on this Monday. xoxox
