Shipwrecked In South Carolina: Self-pity

Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress.

Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.

--Maya Angelou

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One day at a time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We cannot direct the wind but we can adjust our sails.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We surrender to win;
we give away to keep;
we suffer to get well;
we die to live.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Know God;
Know Peace
No God;
No Peace

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Learn to listen;
Listen to learn.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rule #62:
Do not take my life or myself too damn seriously.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Resentment is like acid, eating away at the vessel it is stored in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Serenity is not the absensce of conflict, but the abiltiy to cope with it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pray is neither black magic or is it a form of demand note.
Prayer is a relationship.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lord, take me where you want me to go;
let me meet who you want me to meet;
tell me what you want me to say
and keep me out of your way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The problems in my life are not the situations and conditions that I encounter.
It is how I either respond or react to those situations and conditions that transforms them into problems for me.
