I guess it is no surprise that I would be blogging on January 1. New year, renewed energy ( I hope), renewed habits. I don't know why we wait for perscribed dates to retstart our efforts, Mondays, the first of the month, our birthdays. I guesss it helps when there is a definite start date.
At the suggestion of the creator of the "I Am Divine" cards (Barbara Burke, www.luminouscreations.ca) , I drew one card that will be the card for the year. I got divine serenity.
In the guide book for the cards, Barbara quotes the serenity prayer as part of the reflection. I think the part that speaks the most to me, or I think is the part I need to hold on to the most is "to accept the things I cannot change".
What is the sense in stewing over something that you cannot control? I can get myself tied up in knots over things that I cannot change or control. I have imaginary conversations with people, coming up with clever comebacks or more intelligent responses to things said earlier the day, week, month, year, decade, lifetime. I fume over other people's actions.
Bottom line is that there is only one person I can control, and that is me. I hereby dedicate this year to developing divine serenity.
