I’ve always found the serenity prayer comforting . I feel like so much life advice can be supplanted with the serenity prayer. Congrats on your projects coming to a completion soon (?) and hopefully life will be a tad less stressful afterward. 123 pages is nothing to sneeze at!
My high school boyfriend gave me a charm bracelet and the charm was engraved with the Serenity Prayer. I thought the prayer was to help me cope with me. But now I realize it was to help me cope with my depression and fury with my parents' drinking habits, big loud drunken parties and the regular evening cocktails, one, two, three.... that I complained about, cried about. I wish I still had that bracelet, but the thought remains. Thanks, Katie.
I think that this is the perfect world for your book. When I started my sobriety journey I was definitely not in the majority of my friend-group and may still not be, but lately it seems as though everyone I encounter is trying to slow down, maybe quit, or just complains about how much less fun it is to over-indulge. I have faith in you and think you will kill it.
Thank you for sharing where you are at. Showing up and trying (whatever that looks like for the time and our capacity), regardless of the outcome, IS what it's all about and you can feel some peace about that in the midst of the very real stress. That really is the beauty of the serenity prayer. Good job and good luck! Thanks for making this newsletter.
