Desperately seeking.....something

Serenity
These days I find myself (in addition to the usual mantra of "just get to the weekend") repeating the "Serenity Prayer" in my daily life, asking for the ability to accept the things I can't change, the gumption to change the things I can and the wisdom....something something.

There seems to be an awful lot these days that falls in the first category: things I cannot change. Working in the public sector offers many examples...

But perhaps I am too quick accept such things as immutable, immovable. Surely, I am too young to be wise; this is my time for tilting at windmills.

So, no more serenity and the security of supposing oneself wiser - I need change.
