Gaining Control

"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 the sinful world as it is, not as I would have it..."


There are so many aspects of my life that I can control, that I can change. Just because I was running late and I lost my bus pass (and I have to take the bus in the first place) and I spilt something on mywhite blouse AND the rest of the world is sleeping in while I wake up at 6:30am every weekday of summer!!!...

Haha well that doesn't mean I HAVE to be in a bad mood. Every day I choose to wake up and get my ass to my internship with a smile on my face because in the end of the day what really matters? I wont even remember the few seconds of agony as I crawl from my bed into the shower.
All that will matter is that I was responsible. I was reliable, and I feel good about it. I will gladly accept petty hardships to feel good about myself. We should all be proud to be who we are. I'm extremely proud of who I am and what I do.

Today I'm an intern and a cook at Louie's Chicken Shack. Tomorrow I might be an executive, a mom and a wife, but I cannot fast forward. For now I'm just a 19 year old who wakes up at 6:30am and does logic puzzles for fun.
