         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.
