"God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me." ~Author unknown, variation of an excerpt from "The Serenity Prayer" by Reinhold Neibuhr
What a great statement! I'm the only one who knows how much work I really need [it's a lot!] and I am the only one who can really execute that change. No matter how much I wish someone else would [pick one:] get moving, work harder, be nicer, have more fun etc., I am the only one that I can change. Moreover, my job concerning others is just as stated above: to accept them and to love them.
And now I should excuse myself to get to work. On myself.

Good luck on bettering yourself! I kind of like you how you are though ;)
Great quote! I love your pictures.
You always motivate me to do better. Thanks for this message!
You're doing a pretty darn good job, I gotta say ;)
Great thoughts. Love the Dr. act during music time. One of my favorites!
Great post, great reminder!! I will get to work on myself today as well. Is that you in the hot pink top, with the rectal examiner's gloves? Curious indeed.....:)
ok, so maybe they're more of cleaning gloves... the cap is what made me think of a dr.'s office... nice outfit, just the same.
