the things that I cannot change

Sometimes the world will not align itself to make me happy.  In those moments, I need to exercise the skill of accepting the things that I cannot change.

My daughter lives in Chicago, way too far away from us.  Nothing I can or should do about that.

An abnormal freeze killed many of our palm trees.  Lots of sadness, but nothing I can do about it except to cut them down and get over it.

I was watching the US world cup soccer game and the internet service went down on the plane.  You could hear the collective groan of passenger disappointment, but it could not be fixed.  People either got mad or they got over it.

This is our choice when the world does not make us happy.  We can be mad or we can get on with life.  In my experience, we will find life much more enjoyable when we choose to accept the things that we cannot change and move on.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to be the good.
