Lance, that is weird timing if you think it is. I hope that means you found it useful. I too as a result of reading that would think now what - I'm working on all those things. I know also how overwhelming it can be to have all of those things coming at you one at a time. Even two or three we'd blow off before seem to become big deals. I do suggest you just pick one; maybe one that seems a bit more pressing than the others; the one that may be keeping you from reaching your other goals,.

I hope you are working the sessions and focusing on HIS will not OUR will. I like alll of the Serenity Prayer and as an ACOA and Al-Anon member post it in numerous places in my home. Have you read it in it's entirity. There is some controversy as to who originally wrote the Prayer, as it is usually attributed to Reinhold Niebuhr but most think it was written by Bill W. It matters not to me - it is the Serentiy Prayer and it's content is most valuable.

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.

Anyway, that's what popped into my mind when I read your "what God wants you to know today". Living one day at a time, accepting hardships as apathway to peace; not as I would have it, trusting He will make things right if I surrender to HIS will. His will NOT ours. Very difficult but I know you are and I are both working on it. btw I get the "what God wants you to know today?" on facebook and a couple of times mine have been eerily applicable. Guess it's what we needed to know that day, huh?

I still cant decide what to focus on too. This, panic site, the other stuff I have. So I do none. That wont work. I have a lot started right now and thats a little overwhelming.

This was my daily message from God on FB

On this day of your life, Lance, we believe God wants you to know ... that you learn what you do.
If you worry a lot, then day after day you are learning how to worry even better. If you think about doing something a lot, then you are learning how to think about doing. Every moment you are happy, you are learning how to be even happier. Every time you act, you are learning how to take an action even better. What is it that you've been learning today? What is it that you want to learn tomorrow?

Makes sense to me. Weird timing too!

Dont think I have asked this. How do you learn how to be Happy? And then when you are, how do you know it? Right now I would just settle for OK, but Happy would be cool. I was Happy when I got married, Happy when my kids were born. Now I just dont know what it means.
