I needed the Serenity Prayer last week. My husband was home sick and my serenity prayer went something like this:
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change (to listen to hubby cough, clear his throat, blow his nose every 3 minutes, not wash his hands and all the other things he’s doing that are annoying me). The courage to change the things I can (put on noise cancelling headphones and go to another room) and the wisdom to know the difference.”
It’s been a long 10 days. By some miracle, I’m still not sick. He probably should go to the doc. (Not my business) Thank you Al-Anon !
